Review – When the Smoke Clears

OHH my word!! this book is awesome. I was up until after 1 a.m. finishing this book. I was hanging on the edge of my bed for the ending! I loved this story and am now anxious for the next book!

Alexia Allen has come home. After ten years of avoiding her mother and running from her horrible past, she has come home. It is high school reunion time, so it seems a good time to come home. Plus her mother has started contacting her lately asking her to come home.

Why? Why would a woman who threw her out, and forced her to leave after graduation, ask her to come home now?

After living years with a husband who beat her and the kids, and who tried to kill them all, why would Hannah Allen want her daughter to come home? Alexia struggles with accepting this new Hannah Allen that her mother has become. Add that to the fact that arriving home, she finds a dead man in the basement, is constantly under attack and in danger of her life, Alexia is convinced coming home was not a good thing to do.

I loved this book. I cannot state that too much. In my opinion, this book is Lynette’s best book, I just could not put this book down. There is so much action and the mystery is spine chilling, it will pit brother against brother and even brother against sister, and all the while you will be wondering who is behind all of it. Definitely a book that is deserving of a 5 star rating!
