One of POPSUGAR’s Top 15 Medical Thrillers
One of REAL SIMPLE’s 35 Chilling Psychological Thrillers
A mother’s worst nightmare, a chance at redemption, and a deadly secret that haunts a family across the generations—“the psychological thriller everyone will be talking about” (Lisa Scottaline)
There's only room for one mother in this family.
Claire Abrams’s dreams became a nightmare when she passed on a genetic mutation that killed her little boy. Now she wants a second chance to be a mother, and finds it in Robert Nash, a maverick fertility doctor who works under the radar with Jillian Hendricks, a cunning young scientist bent on making her mark—and seducing her boss.
Claire, Robert, and Jillian work together to create the world’s first baby with three genetic parents—an unprecedented feat that could eliminate inherited disease. But when word of their illegal experiment leaks to the wrong person, Robert escapes into hiding with the now-pregnant Claire, leaving Jillian to serve out a prison sentence that destroys her future.
Ten years later, a spunky girl named Abigail begins to understand that all is not right with the reclusive man and woman she knows as her parents. But the family’s problems are only beginning. Jillian, hardened by a decade of jealousy and loss, has returned—and nothing will stop her from reuniting with the man and daughter who should have been hers.
Past, present, and future converge in this mesmerizing psychological thriller from critically acclaimed author Kira Peikoff.
This is my first Peikoff novel and it most definitely will not be my last! This book was everything I look for in a thriller novel! It had the suspense, the intense emotions, the page turning captivation that I look for in a fantastically written novel. Peikoff is fantastic!
The characters that Peikoff created with Claire, Robert and Jillian are incredible. The plot line is chiseled magnificently! The idea behind having three parents to ultimately end inherited disease.....I've never read anything like that before and it was completely engrossing. So many secrets, so many twists, and so many jaw dropping moments for me!
I have to say, that this was one for the books for me. I am keeping it on my shelf to read again and again. If you are looking for a well written, emotional, mind blowing thrill ride, then definitely grab a copy of this awesome novel. You'll become a fan for life, for sure!
