Summary

You made a promise to your sister. It could destroy your daughter.

The daughter

Fifteen-year-old Rosie lies in hospital fighting for her life. She’s trying to tell her mother what happened to her, but she can’t speak the words out loud.

The mother

Toni is a doting and over-protective mother, terrified for her daughter’s life. Having lost her husband in a tragic accident, Toni has dedicated her life to keeping Rosie safe from harm. She needs to know what secrets Rosie has been keeping and how she ended up in a hospital bed - but Toni has a secret of her own....

The pact

Thirty years ago, Toni and her sister, Bridget, made each other a promise: never to speak of their childhood; to protect each other without asking for help from others, no matter what....

But in order to save Rosie, Toni may have to break her lifelong promise to her sister...and open doors to her past she hoped would remain closed forever.

The Pact is a chilling psychological thriller about the lies we will tell to save our children. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Apple Tree Yard, and The Sister.

Extremely Irritating!

I got about a third of the way through and just couldn't listen to any more! It sounds as though it has been written by a teenager, for a teenager. Predominantly using teenage language such as "deffo" . little actual action, just listening to a spoiled brat complaining that her mother doesn't let her do anything with her friends. Boring.

A riveting story.

Great story. A good few twists and good characters. Great plotline and the characters are built in a very clever woven way.. .. the narration makes for a racy (not in that way!) tale.

Took a while to get going

Ok read but nothing spectacular. Not her best book. It starts very slow and is predictable in places.

An enjoyable listen but…

Great story, if not a little predictable but worth a listen. The only thing I didn’t like was the whole “mummy” thing. It got irritating and sounded wrong for a teenager who was starting to rebel. That’s just my opinion though. A good story and good narration.

Excellent ‘ keep you on the edge of your seat” book

Well written with lots of twists and turns with a slow reveal.
Excellent narrator who captured the voices of the characters superbly. Impressed by the authors depiction of a 15 year old girl - highly recommended

Relevant and crucial

The Pact addresses many relevant areas of great concern to young people today especially the wish and need to be accepted. For insecure and even not so vulnerable adolescents the lure and attractions of social media and finding an admirer on it can be irresistible.
Ms. Lines beautifully describes the state of mind of the central character -who is representative of many young people and the perils that a fraudulent series of event can so dangerously conspire to create.
The book builds slowly and irrevocably towards a truly engrossing culmination of plot twists and resolutions.
