Maya was always able to see those that have passed on, no matter how hard she tried to suppress the ability. That was until her mother died. She hoped that this power would help her see her mother one last time, it however did not. Since then she has not seen anyone in the afterlife….until Alana.
Alana and Maya have been in an unhealthy relationship for years, making a pact together stating that “I will never leave you”. They have twisted themselves together in one torturous knot, but Alana is the one who controls the strings. But Maya has reached the end of her tether, she has finally mustered enough confidence to break things off with Alana. After this explosive breakup Alana goes missing. That is until Maya sees her… but not in her corporeal state.
What happened to Alana, who did this to her? What are her plans for Maya? Just remember some pacts are made to be broken.
Overall rating 4/5
With a true and gritty representation of DV this book delves deep into relationships that are not always physically violent. Alana and Maya have a relationship that needs to be written about! Showing that these situations are not always just in adult relationships and often go unnoticed. The added spirit component was interesting and handled the aspect of stalking to a whole new level.
