Saving Avery

By Angela Snyder

Synopsis

Avery Mason had it all: the nice house, the fancy clothes, the expensive cars and the perfect husband. On the outside looking in, her life appears to be perfect. But inside, Avery knows her life is far from perfection as her husband’s carefully constructed façade slowly starts to crumble.

Forced to fake a happy marriage while enduring physical and mental abuse from the man who had once been her whole world is taking its toll. And ever so slowly, Avery finds herself slipping into an existence where she is gradually becoming a shell of her former self.

When Dr. Max Harrison transfers from Chicago to North Carolina, his world is flipped upside down the moment he sees Avery. With one glimpse into her blue-gray eyes, he can see the pain she is so desperately hiding from the rest of the world. As Avery attempts to push him away, he becomes convinced that there is more to her than meets the eye. And when he finally uncovers her darkest secret, the pieces of the puzzle slowly start to click into place.

Max and Avery want to be together, but nothing in life is ever that simple. It’s not going to be easy to get her away from the powerful Mason family, but Max will risk everything to protect her. His only concern is Saving Avery.

Review

SAVING AVERY will take you on an emotional roller coaster. I admit I have not read many books with this type of storyline as I know it will affect me quite deeply. This story makes you appreciate the wonderful man you have in your life and hope that your own daughter will have the same.

Angela Snyder takes you on a journey, you have to be strong for Avery and know that in your heart at some point after a bleak winter she will be given a spring season to burst out in full colour and new beginnings. The way Avery’s inner turmoil was described along with her coping mechanisms had me riveted to the pages and I admit I ignored all duties and read this book in two days, I could not put it down as you knew you were going to experience the bad before hopefully some happiness.

The story flowed really well for me, at some points I could feel myself shaking with fear for the unknown wondering when the other ball would drop so to say. I too found myself nervous to turn the pages when her husband came home, when she was having lunch at the hospital with Max or the phone rang, it is amazing how I felt I was transported in a way to stand side by side with Avery trying to protect her like Max. I was surprised we had so many moments of wonderful happiness for Avery, it gave me hope to keep turning those pages and know that Angela would give her a happy ever after.

Towards the conclusion to this story it does become brutal & frightening but is relevant and required and although heartbreaking I can say it is worth it in the end. Max’s family and also eventually Avery’s dad made my skin tingle and my heart soar when they stepped up to the plate to play their important roles.

The ending made the journey through the book so worthwhile and I would pick this up again to read as the messages within the pages are simply inspiring. Fantastic story telling Angela Snyder I am going to go and stalk your other books as your writing is simply beautiful.
