Not a bad story, but just had to drop a few F-Bombs that didn’t do anything for the storyline.

Seemed more like a soap opera than a mystery.

Full of twists and turns you don’t see coming. Accused will keep you hooked from page one. Fast paced and energetic, this is a great beach read! D.W. Central Fl United States

I think readers would enjoy this book because the idea/plot is so unique. What if you witnessed something terrible happen to someone, and rushed to help the injured person - only for her to accuse you of being the attacker? That idea is a whole new approach to the “what if” and “who did it” type of books. It was a very intriguing book that kept me guessing “who” and “why” from beginning to end. I think other readers would enjoy it as well because the author did a superb job of weaving details in and out of their story at just the right times. As soon as you think you’ve gotten it all figured out, a new piece of information will come up that you most likely wouldn’t have considered. Plot: Jenna is out at night with her friends to celebrate a birthday. It was a calm, laughable, and fun evening. Jenna left the party earlier than her friends, so she left alone. On her walk home, she sees someone stab a woman and she rushes over to help her. At least, that’s what Jenna claims happened. By the time the paramedics got there and took over, Jenna was covered in the woman’s blood because she tried to stop her from bleeding to death. From that moment on, her life will never be the same. Prior to that night, her family life had been far from perfect. She was suspicious about her husband and the possibility that he was having an affair. He was suspicious of her for his own reasons - some secrets will come out whether you want them to or not, so he was questioning the secrets his wife was keeping too. The oldest daughter, at 17, was being rebellious, secretive, and proving to be untrustworthy by hiding and denying a relationship with a man significantly older than her. Everyone involved had a secret, so at what length would they go to cover it up? Was it a coincidence that the woman accused Jenna of the attack? If not, who framed Jenna by further making it look like she was involved? Jenna’s marriage was already strained as it was, so did she attack Charlotte, the victim, because she thought her husband was cheating with her? Her teenage daughter was unruly and was seeing a man much older than her, so did she find out that he was seeing Charlotte and go after her? Was Jenna’s husband having an affair with Charlotte, and then attacked her because she was threatening to tell Jenna? Did the attack victim Charlotte have Jenna confused with someone else? There are so many “what ifs” and “whys” in this book that those are only a few of the obvious possible scenarios. The truths are much deeper and bigger though, with a shocking ending that will blow you away! The more secrets you try to hide, the bigger the fallout is when they are exposed...and the characters definitely all had a lot of secrets they tried to keep buried. Thank you Bookouture, Victoria Jenkins, and Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to preview this book! My review is voluntary, and is my honest opinion. I definitely recommend it and will be looking into others by Victoria Jenkins as well. Publish

Wow, wow, wow another roller coaster of a book by Victoria Jenkins. I’ve read several of her books and I just can’t get enough. I never knew what was going to happen next. It was like opening Christmas presents but early. I can’t wait for her next one. This book was about a mother who so desperately wanted to keep her secret in the past. But as we all know the past always comes back to haunt us. She knew she couldn’t hold on to the secret anymore as someone was so intent to letting it out. Now all she needs to do is to decide what she’s going to do about it. I want to start off by saying how much I love this author and all her books. Each book I read keeps getting better and better. Victoria Jenkins is the Queen of twists. I never see them coming. I guess and guess but I’m never right on how it’s going to end. I just love that about her books. This whole book worked so well for me. The characters were just right and came so far from the beginning to the end of the book. The plot worked and had a very captivating storyline. I was never bored. The best part of the book though was the shocking ending. Endings to me are always my favorite as that is where the biggest twists lie. This book was no different. I couldn’t believe how it all ended. I’m so glad I decided to read this this book and had no regrets doing so. Definitely was not a waste of my time. Between the plot, characters and all the twists in this book it made it an easy and fast read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
