No Looking Back

by Alex Kane

A fast-paced, totally unputdownable crime thriller that fans of Mandasue Heller and Kimberley Chambers will absolutely love

Kat Denton is a woman running away from her past. For the past sixteen years, her life has been a living hell as Jimmy, the man she fell in love with as a teenager, becomes ever more cruel and abusive. Following the fire that killed her parents, leaving her an orphan when she was just a teenager, Kat is utterly alone and can’t see a way out.

Until the day she finds out that she’s pregnant. Vowing to protect her child from Jimmy’s violence, Kat decides to fight for survival – for her and her unborn baby. Fleeing the traveller camp that has been her lifelong home isn’t easy. But along with her sister in law, Kat escapes with just the clothes on her back and the one photograph she has of her parents.

Kat, along with her baby girl Lucia, starts to build a better life. But when she looks into what really happened in her parents’ death Kat uncovers dark secrets – including a revelation that will lead Kat back to the place she had been so desperate to run away from. Is she strong enough to uncover the truth and save everything that she loves most, or will Jimmy Denton have his revenge?

I don’t think I have read a book that is based around the traveller community, I think there should definitely be more focused on them, hopefully not all as brutal as this one starts out. Men thinking they own their partners is not a good thing in my eyes. Kat needs to get out of this situation, she wants to but how can she leave when women are not allowed to leave the site?
This book gives detail of the time she was in the traveller site and then a year later. This is a harrowing book, full of emotion but equally a very good one, it was written very well and the author did a great job at highlighting domestic abuse and dealing with the aftermath of it.
