The Daughter
15-year-old Rosie lies in hospital fighting for her life. She’s trying to tell her mother what happened to her, and how she got there, but she can’t speak the words out loud.
The Mother
Rosie’s mother Toni has a secret. She had a traumatic childhood, and she and her sister Bridget made each other a promise thirty years ago: that they could never speak the truth about what they went through as children, and that they would protect each other without asking for help from others, no matter what…
Rosie was Toni’s second chance to get things right: a happy, talented girl with her whole life ahead of her. Having lost her husband in a tragic accident, Toni has dedicated her life to keeping Rosie safe from harm.
But Rosie has plans that her mother doesn’t know about. She has dreams and ambitions – of love, of a career, of a life beyond the sheltered existence that her mother has created for her. But the secrets Rosie has been keeping have now put her life in danger.
The Pact
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.

My Review
4☆ An Intriguing Read!
The pact is a story of family loyalty and how far you would go to protect them.
It was thrilling, intriguing, kept me enthralled.
The start of the pact we see sisters Toni and Bridget burying something.
The story is told in 3 points of view. Rosie who is trapped in a coma, Toni (Rosie's Mother) and Aunty Bridget.
I loved Rosie's story although her memories did get a lil disjointed as she tried to break out of her coma. Each one gave us a great insight into her life and just how she comes to be in a coma.
Rosie is your typical teenager she's moody, secretive, and just wants to have fun, as she makes her way towards 16 she wants to do what her friends are doing, partying.
But Rosie has her own secrets. Secrets her mum is yet to uncover!
Toni is very over protective, which can come across as suffocating to Rosie. But Toni has secrets and it's no wonder she acts the way she does. As her past growing up was very Abusive.
Bridget is the glue that holds them all together. She is fun Aunt to Rosie and helps Rosie to have a little more freedom.
Yet she is supportive and the edge of reason to her sister Toni. They have been through so much together. A pact for life.
The pact is a well written character driven story that gives you insight into family relationships and what happens when you have secrets.
There is a nice mix of twists and turns.
This isn't a fast paced read, it's a slow anf steady paced read that packs a punch.
