Twenty years ago, Melanie Stokes was abandoned in a Boston hospital, then adopted by a wealthy young couple. Gifted with loving parents, a doting brother, and an indulgent uncle, Melanie has always considered herself lucky. Until the first cryptic, threatening note arrives: “You Get What You Deserve.”

Melanie has no memory of her life before the adoption. Now someone wants her to remember it all - even the darkest nightmare the Stokes family ever faced: the murder of their first daughter. As Melanie pursues every lead and chases every shadow in search of her real identity, two seemingly unrelated events from her past will come together in a dangerous explosion of truth.

The premise of the story was very intriguing and kept me listening to the end, even though there were parts that felt totally off-key. I have no argument with violence in a twisty, high-stakes thriller (as long as it serves the story). And I have no argument with a steamy love scene between two consenting adults caught up in a dangerous intrigue. But ... I don't know. The mix here felt wrong. The timing and tone didn't work for me.

Violence and Steamy Love Scenes Don't Always Mix

Too much was left for the last chapter and epilogue. I found it dragged and then at the last minute, everything gets solved.
