Liz is a social worker who learned that her abusive ex-boyfriend was released from prison. Her fear would be that he would find her. One day, she gets a visit from a woman claiming to be the ex’s daughter and warns her that he was coming for Liz. It was starting all over again.
This had an interesting premise with a nice build-up, but dawdles every now and then. It keeps a rather consistent pace with dry banalities that don’t really add to the plot.
It turns out the daughter was a victim just like Liz and offers to help her out with a case involving an addict mother looking to get custody. It felt mostly concentrated on this aspect. In fact, the ex doesn’t make an appearance until chapter 11. You’d think it be more exciting after that, even though his cordial pleasantries in the scene were much too saturated and were fooling no one. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fully develop from there. I expected to see how the case of the “twisted ex” would develop; I expected more of a chilling thrill. I mean, the writing was okay, but the story was just “eh.”
My rating: 3 stars
