Terrified by Kevin O'Brien digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A single mother with a secret past will do anything to save her son in this “genuine page-turner” by the New York Times bestselling author (Seattle Times).
 
Megan Keeslar died years ago—or so everyone believes. In fact, she disappeared to escape her sadistic husband, Glenn. When dismembered body parts were found near their home, Glenn was convicted of his wife’s murder. And Megan, terrified for her unborn child’s safety, never came forward with the truth . . .
 
After building a new life in Seattle, Megan’s son Josh knows nothing about her past. But someone does. First, there are anonymous emails and threats, just as she learns that Glenn has been released from prison. Then the unthinkable happens: a masked man breaks into their home and abducts Josh.
 
To save her son, Megan must put herself at the mercy of a maniac. Is Glenn a cold-blooded killer determined to destroy her world, or is the truth even more twisted? Megan thought she knew fear, but her nightmare is only beginning . . .

Terrified Reviews

4.0
“This book grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go until I'd devoured every last word. I thought I had it figured out a couple of times, smugly thinking I knew where the story was going, and then BAM! A twist I never saw coming would send me reeling in a completely new direction. Seriously, the number of times my jaw dropped? I lost count. The characters were so real, so flawed, that I felt like I knew them. I was invested in their lives, their struggles, and their secrets. And there were so many secrets! Every time I thought the story had reached its peak, another layer would be peeled back, revealing something even more shocking than the last. I literally couldn't put it down. Every spare moment I had, I was sneaking in a few more pages, desperate to find out what happened next. Sleep suffered, chores piled up... everything else just faded away while I was immersed in this world. The suspense was absolutely killer. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, my heart pounding in my chest. The author did a fantastic job of building the tension, slowly ratcheting it up until I was practically holding my breath. And the ending? Let's just say it was perfect. Completely satisfying, but still leaving me with that lingering feeling of "Wow, what a ride!" If you love thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, this is a must-read. Five stars, without a doubt. I can't recommend it enough.”
