Stop At Nothing by Tammy Cohen

I had heard so many different reviews on this that I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started. 

Stop at Nothing is a mother's tale of her feelings of helplessness and trying to keep her family safe after one of her daughters, Emma, is attacked. 

She was brought home by a helpful witness who keeps herself involved with the family afterwards as well, Tess (the mum) cannot help but wonder how to keep her daughter safe and help her get on with her life and ends up causing a bit of trouble when she finds who she thinks is her daughter’s attacker. 

What would you do in the same situation? I don't know myself, but I do know that as a character I couldn't find myself liking Tess even though I did feel sorry for her. The same for any of the other characters. 

It therefore it seems strange to say then that I still really enjoyed reading the book. There were a few twist plots that kept the story moving and, and for the most part I still really wanted to keep reading. 

I enjoyed it even more when I read details at the back that the start of this was based on a real event the author experienced and gave more power to the feelings Tess was having of helplessness. 

It was my first Tammy Cohen book, and I definitely would read her books again, as it was well written.
