ONE STEP TOO FAR is a roller coaster novel revealing an
intriguing story of twin sisters Emily and Caroline.
Emily is on a train headed away from her husband and son.
She is running away, having meticulously planned her
escape, She is seeking anonymity and a whole new life for
herself in London. Why is running away? Well author Tina
Seskis does a great job at keeping the reader guessing
while story unfolds.
Broken up into three parts and written in both the
present tense with flashbacks taking the readers travels
through Emily's life. From her birth into her childhood,
then dealing with her difficult twin Caroline. Meeting
her husband, Ben to the birth of their adorable son
Daniel. Even the tragic event that has led her to seek a
new life and identity as Cat in London, where she
eventually becomes the total opposite of the person she
was....and not in a good way.
As the first anniversary of the day that changed
everything, Emily can feel the last bit of her control
spiraling out down to rock bottom. Waking up next to a
dead man, lands her some serious trouble, but its the man
that bails her out that she really owes an explanation
to.
ONE STEP TOO FAR is nothing that I expected it to be. I
knew something had happened, but when everything is
revealed, I was taken completely by surprise. And that is
a hard thing to do in a book without the reader finding
out beforehand. I absolutely loved the characters. Each
character was at a different stage of their life, each
coming from brutal, unforgiving pasts. Tina Seskis
writes their pasts beautifully that translates well to
her readers.
Tina Seskis is a new author for me, and if her writing
style and story line in One Step Too Far is any
indication of what will follow from Seskis, then I will
certainly be adding her to my list of must read authors.
