The Pact by author S. E. Lynes is a very cleverly written suspense thriller about two sisters. The opening scene is of the sisters digging a hole in the middle of a stormy night. And the book gets better each page you read. It is a desperate story about the lengths a mother, a sister, and a family will go in order to protect their own. The two sisters have lived through too much sorrow to allow fate to deal another blow to their little family.
It is years later and Toni has a daughter Roisin, called Rosie. I won't post spoilers because you need to read each chapter to understand how these terrible events unfold. You will read the thoughts of Rosie in a hospital hooked to machines and unconscious. The suspense builds as you read the dynamics of the household. Toni's sister, Bridget has come to live with them and life seems to be almost normal. As Rosie becomes a teenager she wants more freedom. Because of the terrible event in Toni's teenage years, she is overly protective of Rosie and limits her freedom.
Oh My Goodness, as I read this story I felt the bond of the sisters to help each other and to always be there for Rosie. I also felt Rosie's frustration of the tight guidelines her Mom has in place to protect her. And then there is Bridget, a sister who has given her all to protect both her younger sister and her niece. They are a triangle, with two always supporting the one. - And then there is a sexual predator!
This is a very well written thriller which I could not stop reading once I started. Enjoy!
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
