*** FROM THE #1 EBOOK BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CALL ME MUMMY ***
‘Gripped my throat and didn’t let go until the final sentence’ – CAROLINE ENGLAND
‘A slow-burn thriller, both horrifying and touching. Compelling’ – CATHERINE COOPER
‘A heart-stopping rollercoaster of a read’ – J.M. HEWITT
WHEN YOUR MARRIAGE IS THIS BROKEN, YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.
A nightmare jolts Debs awake. She leaves the kids tucked up in their beds and goes downstairs. There’s a man in her kitchen, holding a knife.
But it’s not an intruder. This is her husband Marc, the father of her children. A man she no longer recognises.
Once their differences were what drew them together, what turned them on. Him, the ex-army officer from a good family. Her, the fitness instructor who grew up over a pub.
But now these differences grate to the point of drawing blood. Marc screams in his sleep. And Debs hardly knows the person she’s become, or why she lets him hurt her.
Neither of them is completely innocent. Neither is totally guilty. Marc is taller, stronger, and more vicious, haunted by a war he can’t forget.
But he has no idea what Debs is capable of when her children’s lives are at stake… A completely addictive story of a relationship built on passion, poisoned by secrets and violence. Perfect for readers of Blood Orange and Big Little Lies.

How do you review a book which left you speechless?
Debs and Marc has a normal, happy relationship. They’re both had a messy childhood but they’re doing their best to give a normal life to their kids.
Until Debs finds him in the middle of the night in a kitchen, holding a knife 🔪
He’s drunk and probably high and he’s not making any sense…
We’re with them in the chaos that follows.
We learn about their past, the abuse, sexual violence and things that no one should be going through…
The darkness spills from the pages and emotions are real rollercoaster.
At the end I felt relieved, a bit upset but also happy how it all ended.
I enjoyed “Call me mummy” but with “Nasty little cuts” Tina brought us to a new level of writing and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.
