CROSS HER HEART is a captivating read written by Sarah Pinborough. A brilliantly twisted, unsettling yet compelling novel that is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers.
A slow-burning read that starts out slowly to set the framework for an emotional chilling story full of unexpected twists and turns. You just can predict what is about to happen. The first few chapters are the author's way of setting the scene, introducing you to the characters and their backstories. CROSS HER HEART has three main characters: Lisa, a mother who is haunted by a dark past, her sixteen-year-old daughter, Ava, and Lisa's best friend, Marilyn.
The middle of CROSS HER HEART picks up quickly and has shocking moments leaving you questioning "what" and "why?" Pinborough brilliantly executes the storyline in a nail-biting way that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. This story is as much about the characters as it is the plot.
CROSS HER HEART is both a shocking and harrowing read. A story that will leave you second guessing until the very end. A remarkable psychological thriller that is sure to stay with you after reading. I highly recommend CROSS HER HEART to anyone who loves a heart-pounding thriller.
