Before I Wake by C.L. Taylor

4.0

A fast paced psychological suspense and debut novel by C.L. Taylor.
Susan's teenage daughter Charlotte lies in a coma after seeming to throw herself in front of a moving bus. Everyone seems to think it was an accident but after finding her daughters diary and reading what she wrote the night before Susan is sure it was on purpose. What would cause her daughter to do something so horrendous ? Susan feels that if she can find the answer to that question then maybe she can help pull Charlotte out of her coma.
Intertwined in this story are flashbacks from Susans life 20 years before and the small clues and unwelcome gifts that seem to be linking her past to her present life.
Is the life Susan fled from finally catching up with her and if so is her daughter the one paying the price for it ? Unfortunately with Susans history of mental breakdowns no one believes her as she starts putting it all together. Is she crazy ? Was it just an accident or is someone really out to destroy her family ?
You will not want to put this one down till you know all the answers !
