Traumatic & Unexpected Turns!!

Story that touches on the complexity of a sisterhood relationship in the beginning, and naiveness walking into love for the first time. While this story has many twists and turns that absolutely nobody could expect, as the reader you almost want to scream at the main character for not seeing the obvious sometimes. It’s not quite the love story I was expecting, but conveyed feelings of betrayal and confusion any experienced lover has felt before. A story of trauma of all kinds.

Great Thriller!

This was my first D.J. Maughan's book, and won't be my last. One Desperate Life is a captivating story, filled with suspense, mystery, danger, and twists and turns. Louise's story is set in the early 1900s. This thriller is an emotional roller coaster, fast-paced, intriguing, and heart-pounding. The plot is well crafted, and enthralling. Stephanie Richardson is a new narrator to me. She did an excellent job bringing this story to life.
