Paige the mother of a murdered child and wife to a dead man.

She has nothing left to live for... until she finds her husband's handgun hidden in their house.

Why did Ryan need a gun? What did he know about their daughter's death?

Desperate for the truth, Paige begins to unearth her husband's secrets.

But she has no idea who she is up against, or that her life isn't hers to gamble - she belongs to me.

📖My Review..

Paige’s life is fast spiralling out of control, with her husband dead and her daughter presumed murdered there is nothing to stop her from drinking herself into oblivion. Even hitting rock bottom is still no incentive for Paige to get her life back together and with her family concerned for her welfare she is constantly battling against them as she fights her own personal demons.

My goodness, this is a difficult book to review without giving anything away, safe to say though that I was hooked right from the very start, reading faster and faster almost in disbelief at what was unfolding before me. The author certainly knows how to crank up the tension which comes so fast and furious that I had a genuine reluctance to put the book down. There is a constant feeling of unease as I felt that Paige was never going to have an easy time of it however, the plot twist, when it came, left me reeling. I read the book in one quick sitting, deeply invested in the story, and hoping that everything would work out.

Cleverly written, with fine attention to detail, My Girl grabs your attention right from the start and doesn’t let go until the whole scary story is played out.
