How far would you go for love?

In a rambling house in a small Australian beach town, Elena Jameson is recovering from her recent divorce. To her delight, she is given the opportunity to foster a little boy, Daniel, whose mother is dead and whose violent father is in rehab. As Elena and Daniel explore the beautiful bay and wild bushland, they form a profound bond that will change their lives forever.

Then Daniel’s father discovers his whereabouts and begins a campaign of terror – not to get his son back, but to prevent Elena giving Daniel a new life.

As the violence escalates, Elena finds that she’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect Daniel from the brutality of his past and an uncertain future. Sometimes the only way to get what you want is to pay the price in blood.

A gothic tale of love and loss, bravery and hope.

Really good read

Reviewed in Australia on 30 October 2017

Verified Purchase

It's so refreshing to read a good Australian drama, and an amazing effort for a first novel. The characters were superbly drawn and I was with them every step of the way. Sometimes I felt like yelling at Elena to go to the police, but then I remembered what happened to Rosie Batty and couldn't blame her for not having confidence that they would be able to help.

A bunyip? Really?

Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2017

This would have to be one of the most frustrating plots of all time. Dear author, you can't just turn to the supernatural at the last minute when you've got yourself in a jam. And the heroine's decision making is just loopy for no good reason. Yet the writer does have a flair for description- such a waste.

Slow read

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I didn't enjoy this book. I found it quite slow. I didn't find it very suspenseful either. I did enjoy the descriptions of the native Australian landscapes. But that was all.

A world that exists both in dream and reality

Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2017

Verified Purchase

One of the things I love about this thriller/drama is its way of bringing out light and dark, this "contrast" that is cleverly shaped by its characters and their unique stories, allowing the reader to easily visualise a world that exists both in dream and reality. You can't help but emotionally connect with the determination of the characters, either fueled by love or fear.

Great read

A lovely story of the fight for a child. Ranged from a very thought provoking story to nail biting drama. A happy tale tale tinged with sadness for things that had to move on in life

The story is well thought out with impressive research done to "Get it right". It's a compelling story that keeps you riveted and wanting to know what's going to happen next. Kudos to Samantha Wood on her first published novel. Well done and best of luck on future endeavours.
