86. Hush Little Baby by Suzanne Redfearn
From the outside Jillian Kane’s life looks perfect. She has a devoted husband, two adorable kids, and a great job. Looks, however, can be deceiving. In reality Jillian’s husband has been abusing her for the past 9 years both physically and mentally. She finally decides it is time to run to save both herself and her kids, but Gordon seems to be ahead of her at every turn. Can she make it safely away from him and rescue her children too? This was a fantastic book. It took you inside the mental and physical realities of an abusive relationship, while also being a great suspense novel. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. I give it an 8 out of 10.
