My Review
A psychological thriller with a blurb and title which made me rather eager to read it. I have previously read Jackie Kabler’s books, so I know her writing is of high quality. I totally expected to have a great read, and she didn’t let me down one iota!
Told from the multiple perspectives of Amber, Heather, and Jack. Three people whose lives are entangled to a level that had me on the edge of my seat as I read.
Amber is in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. She enlists the help of Heather, her ex- best friend, to try to find the evidence to prove her innocence. Heather happens to be the ex- girlfriend of the perpetrator,Jack. She knows this means she has to get back with him. Although terrified, she knows this is the only way to gain access to his house in order to find any evidence to free Amber.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The tension was built at an increasing speed as the pages whizzed by. The Life Sentence just highlights how anyone can be manipulated and not even realise it. The number of characters that I didn’t trust grew the more they were introduced into the story. I felt the danger seeping out of the pages as Heather tried to find the evidence needed in Jack’s house. Even I was scared for her!
Jacke Kabler is an expert in keeping me gripped. Whether it’s through the drama or fear, I don’t know! All I know is that this book left me thinking afterwards.
