About this ebook
The perfect candidate to carry their child...with the perfect opportunity to destroy their lives.
When Kyle Dolan convinces his wife, Bethany, to hire a surrogate for their last surviving embryo, they allow themselves to hope once again. A med school student, Laurel Bergin seems perfect in every way. Problem is--Laurel Bergin is really Sable Lynde.
As the pregnancy progresses, Sable's dark secrets surface, and her inner demons spill out into the Dolans' lives. In a terrifying encounter, Sable is injured and lapses into a coma. Now the Dolans face psychological and supernatural forces they never knew existed.
Fearing for their sanity, their own lives, and the life of their baby, they confront the surrogate--and the darkness surrounding her--in a heart-stopping climax that will keep you reading late into the night.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not my usual read, found it at my local library (new e-books) and the plot intrigued me. I couldn't put it down! Very surprising plot. About half way through I thought "but this must be ending soon and here I am only half way through" ?? Great characters too. A little OTT on the religion but that was part of these main characters so I will forgive :)
Thanks for an enjoyable read (and I wont hold my sleepless night against you LOL). - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a really realistic view of the desperation of a woman who cannot carry a child and how far a woman could let themselves be pulled off balance to achieve parenthood. I really liked the book but the ending seemed drag on. Easily the book would have been just as good if it had ended several chapters earlier.
