LOVE YOU TO DEATH by Anya Mora
4 Stars!
ABOUT THE BOOK -
Since the death of my first husband, I know how deadly love can be…
When Theo died, I swore I would never remarry. But then I meet Parker, and I find I can’t say no to a second chance at happiness.
But after we get engaged, strange things start happening. I find Theo’s sweater hanging in the wardrobe, and his wedding band on the bathroom sink. Our old wedding album is on the coffee table, and I can smell my late husband’s cologne in the air.
Parker is sure it’s my daughter Sadie playing a practical joke, still hurting after the death of her father. But I start to wonder if it’s my in-laws, angry about my new marriage. Then I become terrified it’s something darker…
When a photo of my late husband and my daughter appears on my bedside table, her smiling face scratched out with something sharp, a shiver runs down my spine. Is someone coming for my child?
My world is crumbling. But whoever is behind this doesn’t know the lies I buried with my first marriage. They don’t know the dark secret I have hidden in the attic. And if someone is threatening my daughter, they have no idea how far I’ll go to keep her safe…
An addictive and gripping thriller that will leave you guessing until the very last page. Packed with twists, this is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and Colleen Hoover’s Verity.

MY THOUGHTS -
This was one of those books that did a total flip flop for me. The pace extremely accelerates in the last quarter of the book where everything that starts to explode. Don’t get me wrong, not every book I read has to be totally exciting. But this one just always seemed like it was missing something for me… Until the last 25% then that’s when it seemed to explode into something better.
This book brought out a lot of emotions in me. Not necessarily good ones… But emotions. I love a book that can bring about that much emotion in me even if sometimes they are negative.
I really never connected to Anna, the main character. I liked her best friend Jillian and Anna's 11-year-old daughter Sadie. I really wanted to like Anna. I didn’t hate her but she just annoyed me. I felt like she didn’t stand up for herself enough. But through the whole book she did stand up for her daughter Sadie. And that I do admire in a Mom. I found myself yelling at Anna much more than I was reading about her. On the other hand, there’s a reason for everything, and we don't find out the reason until the last quarter of the book.
Even though at times it was super slow and I kept waiting for something to happen, it was enough to keep me reading and keep me wanting more. I do feel like it was a good, worth while read and ending up liking it in the end.
This is my second book by Anya Mora. Here is my review for GOOD BAD MOTHER - HERE.
I would recommend and would read more by this author. :-)
Thank you Bookouture/Storyfire Ltd for sending me this book for my honest review.
