Description
The perfect daughter is dead. And a secret is eating her family alive...
Jenna is given another shot at life when she receives a donor heart from a girl called Callie. Eternally grateful to Callie and her family, Jenna gets closer to them, but she soon discovers that Callie's perfect family is hiding some very dark secrets...
Callie's parents are grieving, yet Jenna knows they're only telling her half the story. Where is Callie's sister Sophie? She's been 'abroad' since her sister's death, but something about her absence doesn't add up. And when Jenna meets Callie's boyfriend Nathan, she makes a shocking discovery.
Jenna knows that Callie didn't die in an accident. But how did she die? Jenna is determined to discover the truth but it could cost her everything; her loved ones, her sanity, even her life.
A compelling, gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist from the author of the Number One bestseller The Sister.
What everyone is saying about The Gift:
'My God! It's a bloody corker! An exquisite writer... Louise has completely knocked it out of the park and brought us all another amazing thriller! MY FIRST EVER GOLD STAR AWARD.' Emma the Little Bookworm
'Hells Bells! The Gift by Louise Jensen is an absolute cracker of a read. It's tense, gripping and thrilling. I literally devoured this book in one sitting, I love it when you read a book and the opening chapter grabs you by the throat... Louise Jensen has written a belter of a book that will keep even the most hardened psychological thriller lover glued to their kindle/book.' The Book Review Cafe
'Louise Jensen has this great gift of being able to drag you directly into the story and carry you along kicking and screaming! Drop everything and curl up in a comfy chair because as soon as you start this book you won't want to do anything else!' Angelnet Reviews
'I absolutely ADORE Louise Jensen's writing... The Gift is full to the brim of twists and turns... superb!' Damp Pebbles
'This book is a compulsive read - once you start it you'll find it incredibly hard to put down again until you've finished it... I love the way that nearly every chapter ends on a mini cliff-hanger - it kept me turning the pages late into the night and eventually I decided I simply couldn't go to bed until I knew the truth!' Rather Too Fond of Books
'I could not put this book down. I neglected all the housework and put off cooking dinner until I was finished... I loved every page.' Renee Reads
My eyes were racing down the pages... had me guessing...
