She shared her darkest secrets. Now someone is using them to destroy her.
New mother Shelly should be enjoying the happiest time of her life. She’s just given birth to a beautiful baby boy, Alfie.
But Alfie’s arrival has triggered something deep inside Shelly and now she finds herself at the mercy of crippling OCD and violent intrusive thoughts that terrify her. Desperate for help, she joins a therapy group led by renowned psychologist Dr Andrea Galanis.
It doesn’t work. Instead of helping, somehow therapy seems to be bringing her very worst fears to life.
What Shelly doesn’t realise is that someone from her dark past has infiltrated the group. And now she is sharing her most private secrets with a person who is determined to rip her life apart, one painful piece at a time.
With everything and everyone she cares about under threat, Shelly has a simple choice – confront the horrifying truth she’s kept hidden for almost twenty years, or face every mother’s worst nightmare – losing the child she loves.

My thoughts: Shelly is doing the right thing in getting help and support for her OCD and intrusive thoughts, from a professional. But someone in the group session she attends isn’t who they claim to be and they’re out to get her due to a belief that she did something terrible years ago.
Suddenly her life is in free fall, sacked, accused of theft, her marriage in trouble, and nowhere to turn. Her new friend Jess suggests she needs to take a break and reassess, but can she trust what she hears?
An obsessive, grieving person is attempting to destroy her, to dismantle her whole life, and it is only when her son is threatened, that she learns why things have become so awful. And has to reveal the truth.
Clever, shocking and full of twists, this will keep you hooked as Shelly’s life is dismantled piece by piece.
