Beneath the Ashes
Emma Dawson has spent sixteen years convincing herself that surviving was
enough.
As an emergency room nurse, she helps strangers through the worst days of
their lives. At home, she's become an expert at hiding bruises, swallowing
fear, and believing tomorrow will somehow be different.
But when she quietly begins preparing to leave the man who has controlled
every part of her life, Emma uncovers secrets that suggest her marriage has
been built on far more than fear. With every carefully guarded truth she
uncovers, the ground beneath her begins to shift, and the life she's fought so
hard to protect starts unraveling in ways she never imagined.
As old loyalties are tested and long-buried truths rise to the surface, Emma
must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the people she loves . . . how
much of the truth she's willing to uncover and what it may ultimately
cost.
Because some truths don't stay buried.
They wait beneath the ashes.

This was just mind blowing. Absolutely loved the way this pulled me in and kept me on the edge is my seat. This dug deep inside me with everything that Emma, Jaxon, and Martha went through. Emma doesn’t have the best marriage, but when secrets and other things start to surface, she’s ready to go. This was so suspenseful. The intensity that this brings was incredible. This pulled at my heart, it was deep and fear riddled. An absolutely amazing read.

This was an ARC I received through the new app Inside Story. Man, was this good!!! Bekka Scott did a great job. This story follows Emma, Jaxon and her mom Martha through abuse from Emma's husband and Jaxon's father. One Night Carlos disappears for good and never comes back. We know what happens but I am not going to say anything. But this is a must read! This book hits shelves and e-readers September 27th.
one note to the author. I had a hard time figuring out we were on a new day or subject once and a while. I would either put a dividing line between subjects or at least put it in new paragraphs
