Maternal Instinct

Viac o knihe

Think moving in with your mother-in-law is your worst nightmare? You have no idea. Althea Deming tells herself to keep her thoughts hidden; it's her best defense. Althea never wanted her thoughtless stepson Hal and manipulative daughter-in-law Grace to move in with her, taking over the space that was once hers. Since her husband Robert's death, she has felt powerless, especially since the will transferred everything to Hal and Grace. Grace, on the other hand, didn't want to uproot her family to care for her difficult mother-in-law but is determined to make the best of it for her daughter Shyla's future. Their new home is enormous and in a prestigious neighborhood, so if the worst is that Althea dislikes her, Grace believes she can cope. After all, everyone says Althea is a sweetheart, including her husband and the neighbors. But Shyla, once vibrant and happy, is now a shadow of her former self, raising concerns for Grace. Why can’t she trust Althea? All her instincts scream that Althea is dangerous, and if she doesn’t protect her family from her malign influence, she may live to regret it.
