#BlogTour: Stop At Nothing by Tammy Cohen @MsTamarCohen @TransworldBooks @annecater #StopAtNothing #RandomThingsTours

Book Synopsis:

A mother’s job is to keep her children safe.

Tess has always tried to be a good mother. Of course, there are things she wishes she’d done differently, but doesn’t everyone feel that way?

Then Emma, her youngest, is attacked on her way home from a party, plunging them into a living nightmare which only gets worse when the man responsible is set free

But what if she fails?

So when Tess sees the attacker in the street near their home, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. But blinded by her need to protect her daughter at any cost, might she end up putting her family in even greater danger?

There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to make it right . . .

Stop At Nothing is available in ebook and hardback now. You can purchase a copy of both using the link below.

My Review:

I’ve read and enjoyed a few of this author’s historical novels but this was my first psychological thriller from her. I’m pleased to say that I thought it just as good!

This was an incredibly well plotted book which slowly increased in tension throughout the course of the book until it almost becomes unbearable. I loved the slow drip of information and the slow reveal of what was happening. It made for fantastic reading and ensured that it was a difficult book to put down.

The inclusion of social media platforms like Facebook help to make the book seem very realistic as it suddenly becomes very apparent how vulnerable we are and how much information about us is available on line. I’ve definitely changed some of my settings and habits on social media since reading this book.

The mother – daughter relationship was brilliantly written and I found I felt a lot of sympathy for Tess after the attack. Yes she makes some terrible mistakes, that had me almost screaming with frustration at her, but I felt they came from a well meaning place ( if that makes sense). As a mum I could well imagine the almost primal desperate need you’d have to try and get revenge for your daughter, which had me wondering how far I’d go in such a situation.

This story was fairly fast paced and had lots of twists that kept me guessing how it was going to work out. I had lots of guesses how things would end and I was completely wrong which I always enjoy. If you’re looking for a gripping, absorbing read this summer I highly recommend this one

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Transworld for my copy of this book.
