Publisher's Summary

A quiet neighborhood. A lovely home. A promising new beginning. In a heartbeat everything can change in this propulsive novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.

Julie Jones has left her suffocating marriage. With her teenage daughter, Jess, she’s starting over. Their new house in Oceanside is the first step toward a new life. Even if it does come with the unexpected. The previous owners, a pastor and his wife, have left something - or rather someone - behind...

Tom Dean has a bitter hatred for the father who considers him a lost cause, and for the woman who’s moved into their family’s house. The only home he’s ever known. He’s never going to leave. She thinks he’ll be gone in three days, but Tom has the perfect plan.

For a newly single mother and her daughter, a fresh start is the beginning of a nightmare. Before the weekend is over, somebody is going to get exactly what they deserve.

Less than zero stars

If I could give this audiobook a minus score I would. It's absolutely painful on every level. The narrators are wooden with weirdly misplaced vocal inflections. The characters who are supposed to be teens talk like 60-year-olds. There are spoiled rich private school kids playing Nazi beer pong and a billionaire real estate mogul going down for soliciting sex from an undercover cop for no apparent reason. And there are far too many bursts of pointless violence, along with way too much of God and Jesus and prayers, all topped up with a 'kind Christian lady' hugging the 'all he needs is Jesus' love' killer -- who is actually a 25-year-old radicalized incel who has just murdered two men and held a young teen girl hostage -- into submission, is utterly cringeworthy. Please, do not waste your money on this book.
