The Husband Trap

 

The Husband Trap NJ Moss- psychological thriller

OMG! Sit on the edge of your seat and prepare to hold tight! Liam has just proposed at last to the love of his life Emma who is expecting their first child in the next week or so. She insists that he go out for some beers so he pops to the shop using a shortcut he has told Emma never to use. On his way he gets attacked and feels a needle go into his neck. He awakens in a bedroom somewhere he doesnt recognise and finds himself prisoner to a woman who wants him for her boyfriend. Thinking of Emma, he refuses but the heavy guards won't allow him to disobey and make his life very uncomfortable. Who is Maddie Pemberton and can he escape back to Emma and his own normal life?

Oh wow! I should have known with Nathan's books that I was in for a rollercoaster but this one took me by surprise. It's so well written that, excuse the pun, it's totally captivating and real life and time slipped away from me as I kept turning and turning, wanting to find out more. To me this shows a truly excellent skill of writing and planning with an excellent plot and I liked Liam very quickly. Rather dark at times but showing that yes some humans, as Natan explains after the end, will do rather strange things. Sometimes when pushed and sometimes part of their nature sadly. A page turner of a read and one that kept me enthralled.

NJ Moss worked as a fiction ghostwriter for ten years before he turned his skills to his own work. His latest novel is My Dead Husband: a twisted tale about family, revenge, and the past catching up to the present.

When he is not working on his next thriller, you can normally find him walking his dogs (Loki and Gizmo, a Jack Russell terrier and a Chihuahua), rollerblading up and down the promenade of Weston-super-Mare, or spending time with his lovely wife.
