BOOK DESCRIPTION
Who do you trust when everyone is lying?
My name is Tess Parker.
Two days ago, I was in a car accident with my sister-in-law, Torrie. Before she slipped into a coma, she asked my husband and me to care for her four-month-old son, Levi.
Yesterday, a woman claiming to be Torrie’s estranged sister knocked on our door. But Torrie has no siblings . . . or so she said. She and my brother were only together a short time before he left, and Torrie has clearly been keeping secrets.
Today, another of Torrie’s “sisters” has come to town. Both say the other is lying about who they are.
Neither of them is telling the truth.
Both of them want Levi.

BOOK REVIEW
After a car accident causes serious injuries to her sister-in-law, Torrie, Tess and her husband Josh begin taking care of their nephew, Levi. They are almost immediately besieged by Torrie’s two sisters, who have conflicting stories. Put in a situation where she does not know who to trust, Tess tries to figure out the truth. She is also still dealing with a marriage at the breaking point, as well as an obsession with Brady Becker, the man who killed her five-year-old daughter.
This is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you guessing. The plot is riveting and the characters are full of intrigue. The reader literally never knows who to trust. Manipulation, secrets, and lies seem to underscore most of Tess’s relationships, and I was glued to the page, trying to figure out who was being deceptive. Tess, the grieving mother, is easy to connect with. The other characters are somewhat in shadow, but they are all part of the expertly crafted plot, which keeps you in suspense until a mastermind suddenly emerges. Captivating, mournful, and thrilling, this book will not let you go until the end.
If She Wakes is Book 2 in the Harlow series by Erik Therme. It can be read as a standalone. However, reading Book 1, If She Dies, would be beneficial.
