I'm not supposed to leave the house. But what my husband doesn't know won't kill him. I break his rules every morning on my runs. It's always been best when I have a routine. So every day I wake up, run, clean the house, wish for a better life, repeat. And every day is exactly the same. Except for Thursdays. I live and breathe for Thursdays. It's when he comes. I watch him from a distance. I can't help myself. But I was never supposed to talk to him. I know what you're thinking. But you don't know my story. You don't know the kind of monster my husband is. And trust me, you have no idea who I am.
Reviews
Kirkus
"Readers will be immediately drawn to Adeline, a smart, convincing protagonist; they’ll likely root for her from the start and hope she finds a better life for herself—one that includes the incredibly likable Ben. [...] Smoak has written a dark, twisted thriller that's ultimately a satisfying page-turner. An often exhilarating read for those who love uncovering the dark secrets of suburbia."
