Never Let You Go
robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2050 more book reviews


Lindsay Nash was mentally and physically abused by her husband, Andrew. She escaped in the middle of the night with their six-year-old daughter, Sophie, and never looked back. Lindsay and Sophie moved away to start a new life after Andrew went to prison. Now, eleven years later, Lindsay has been informed that Andrew has been released from prison. He told her that she could never leave him, so she is sure he will be looking for her.

When Lindsay discovers that someone has been inside her home, reading her mail, and looking through her computer, she knows that Andrew has found her. Lindsay contacts the local police, but Andrew claims he has turned over a new leaf. He just wants to get to know his daughter again.

This book was a definite page-turner. I found it hard to put down. The story is told from both Lindsay and Sophie's points-of-view. We flashback to Lindsay and Andrews's first meeting, their subsequent marriage, and how the relationship eventually changed. The suspense was palpable throughout this book. I worried that Lindsay and Sophie would never get out from under Andrew's abuse, both in the scenes from the past and the present.

This is a fast-moving suspense story with a big twist near the end. I did guess what was going to happen, but it didn't lessen my enjoyment. My rating: 4 Stars.
