  1. Oh, my gosh, my heart is beating faster than normal! That is a scary story! I don't read those kind. I don't like to hyperventilate while reading! Also, I don't want those images and tho'ts in my head. Same with movies–I don't go to the scary ones. I guess I am more impressionable than others, but I just don't care to be frightened out of my wits for no good reason!

    As to whether the wife knew or not, it's hard to say. She may have had questions or suspicions which she did not pay attention to or act on, but I don't see how she didn't pick up on the negative energy that must have been emanating from her husband. Or chafe under the "tight reins" he kept on her. I think she was extremely naive and out of touch with her own knowings. Poor thing. And the poor children. Yikes!

    And what would YOU have done in her situation??

  2. Wow, that is one creepy tale, makes a person think about what if this really happened. Am a big reader but not sure I have nerve to read this.
    Have you gotten your new laptop? Wondering how it's working for you if you have received it. Was thinking about getting one myself but waiting to hear how you like yours first.
    Am ashamed to admit I have a tablet but don't know how to use it, guess would be be good if I could take a class to have hands on help. Am quite digitally challenged. Have a Cricut Air also but couldn't get it installed, so much can do with it, is the first model of it.
    I get rattled when too much to figure out. Pretty silly to have these things and not use them. Our grand daughter was trying to show me but she gets impatient when I don't understand, that makes me even more nervous, vicious circle. Enjoyed hearing about that book.
    Enjoy rest of your week

  3. While this is not a genre I prefer, and I probably won't read it, I would like to recommend on Kindle free books, the Tucker series. I think the first book is entitled Tucker. It was a good series with about 5 books and tells the story of a young woman who is fending for herself and her daughter and consequently gets custody of her three grandchildren. The series is not as well written as one you'd pay for, but as a free series, they were very good.

  4. This is too scary because it does happen. We always want to believe the best of someone we love, and then are surprised when betrayed. I wonder–has it always been this scary, or is so much of this a recent trend?!?

  5. If you go to Amazon.com you can download their Kindle ap and read books on your computer. Some are free and some you have to purchase.

  6. Well I for one, got caught up in this 'Pretend' game!
    While reading what you very descriptively wrote, I actually found myself holding and releasing my breath several times, in fear over her terrifying ordeal.
    This just drew me right in and I love books like that.
    Thanks Brenda for taking me on this fearful journey..lol
    I'm going to get this book so I can find peace and have closure!!

  7. Hi Brenda, that sounds like a great book. May I ask a question ? I would love to know how to get E-books . Would I have to buy something to get on it besides my computer? I miss reading books. We moved so far into the mountains that our library is only one room and that is 20 miles away.Thank you. Shirley k Smith at [email protected] P. S. Your picture looks so much like I did at your age that we could have been taken as sisters . I had about the same childhood as you but quite a bit worse but it made me a better mother.I knew what NOT to do.

    1. There are many places to find free ebooks. Google free ebooks and you'll find them. I have written about them here before. Maybe it was just last week. I'm not computer savvy enough to know if you could read ebooks on your computer. Sorry! Maybe someone else here will know.

  8. Wow! You really had me going! I am going to have to get that book so I will know what you were talking about!

  9. I also read this book and it was very good. It does make me think about how naive I have been in my life. My last husband was crazy and I mean it and so much I didn't know. I'm more cautious these days with all friends. I found the book really good and I could believe she didn't know…did you? Good review.

    1. I don't think she knew. Sometimes we are just shocked by what those we love end up doing.
