Shelter by Catherine Jinks - 5 Stars


I read this book so quickly.  I did not see the ending or the last quarter of the book coming.  The ending was a surprise.  It was a good ending I’m not saying it wasn’t, it was just a bit unexpected. This book has mystery, and quite a story line.  I’m not going to give you a description as I have that shown below as found on NetGalley.com.

 

I received the book from NetGalley free in the kindle format.  My opinion and words are my own freely given.  It was not required.  #Shelter #NetGalley #CatherineJinks #WomenAbused

 

Description

Meg lives alone: a little place in the bush outside town. A perfect place to hide. That’s one of the reasons she offers to shelter Nerine, who’s escaping a violent ex. The other is that Meg knows what it’s like to live with an abusive partner.

Nerine is jumpy and her two little girls are frightened. It tells Meg all she needs to know where they’ve come from, and she’s not all that surprised when Nerine asks her to get hold of a gun. But she knows it’s unnecessary. They’re safe now.

Then she starts to wonder about some little things. A disturbed flyscreen. A tune playing on her windchimes. Has Nerine’s ex tracked them down? Has Meg’s husband turned up to torment her some more?

By the time she finds out, it’ll be too late to do anything but run for her life.
