Wendy and her husband Dave have a fight. The next night she
is sitting in
a bar waiting on her friend Pam. The friend never shows and
she ends up
with Curtis, a stranger she has just met. NO WAY BACK by
Andrew Gross
is the story of how one mistake can change your life.
against her better
judgement, Wendy winds up upstairs in the hotel room with
Curtis. While
she is there she witnesses something very disturbing and
almost doesn't
make it out of the room alive.
Somehow, she makes it home and confesses it all to her
husband. She
tells him they must leave right away. These people know
where they live
and they aren't safe. Wendy is then set up in a way you
can't even imagine
and she has to go on the run alone. She can't trust anyone
and Dave is no
longer with her.
NO WAY BACK is also about Lauritizia. She escaped from
Mexico and is
as a nanny. She is very happy there and she
loves the family very much. While at a mall one day, she
witnesses a
shooting and knows that the bullets were meant for her. Her
father worked
for some very bad men in Mexico and they are coming after
her because
he turned on them. She must get away from this family
that she loves so
much. She can't put them in danger. They convince her to
stay and they
will help her.
Wendy and Lauritizia's stories come together and they must
work together
to bring it all to an end. They want their lives back and
the only way that is
going to happen is if they are strong and face their fears
and these people.
They are two very strong women and will stop at nothing no
matter how
afraid they are.
I devour Andrew's books, and NO WAY BACK was a very quick
read for
me. Andrew has a way of pulling you in right from the very
first page and
never lets you go until the final page. Once you think you
have it all figured
out, Andrew throws you a curve ball . The plot lines are
very clean and
easy to follow. NO WAY BACK is packed with action and
suspense and
you will find yourself not being able to stop turning the
pages late into the
night.
Wendy Gould is an attractive, happy suburban mom, and an
experienced ex-cop. A chance meeting with a stranger in a
hotel ends when the man is murdered and she's the only
witness, forcing her to run from rogue federal agents
determined to keep her silent, even if it means killing her.
Things only get worse when the authorities—the wrong ones—
find their way to her door, giving her no recourse but to
flee from her only safe haven.
Lauritzia Velez, meanwhile, is a devoted nanny. She's also a
woman with a deadly secret that has driven her into hiding
until she can prove her innocence.
Scared and alone, these two women with nothing in common
will eventually join forces and embark on a dangerous
odyssey to find the truth and save their lives. It's a
desperate hunt that leads them into a nefarious web of
treachery, lies, and corruption involving drug lords, arms
dealers, and shadowy figures in the highest echelons of
government.
