Homewrecker
Matthew's life has never been the same since his wife, Lauren, tragically died. His only comfort is his daughter, Eve, and the corporate empire he built with his wife, which now sustains them both.
When Matthew meets Jess, he isn't sure he's ready to bring another woman into his life - especially as Eve finds this hard to accept. But Jess is irresistible and he quickly falls for her charm and wit, eager to bring some normality back to his family life.
Hallucinations begin to plague Matthew - visions of a dark, dangerous entity - and he begins to wonder if he moved on too soon and is losing his mind, or if he really is witnessing something supernatural.
Questioning his sanity, he visits the doctor, convinced he has a sleep disorder, but the visions just keep coming. The Dark Empress is always there, and she's even been paying Eve a visit too...

About the author
A.L. Frances
5 books9 followersA.L. Frances is a thirty-two-year-old British author.
The Broken is set to be a four-part series and marks A.L. Frances’ debut in literary fiction.
Born in Wythenshawe, South Manchester, she is the product of a broken home. Her formal education was cut short before she could gain any qualifications and she became a mother to three children by the time she was just twenty years old. At twenty-one A.L. Frances suddenly finds herself cast in the role of a single parent, destined to repeat the cycle of her own difficult upbringing.
Determined to give her children a better start in life, she moved to the countryside village of Hollingworth, and eventually settled into a career in law. It was during this transition that she found herself on a journey of self-discovery. Attending multiple mindset enhancing seminars in England, America and Canada, she was exposed to the tutelage of inspirational speakers such as Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, and Mel Robbins among others. A.L. Frances was eventually introduced to Peggy McColl, a New York Times Best Selling Author. Standing on the stage, Peggy said the words that would inspire her into action. Peggy said, “Everyone has a book in them.” as she pointed into the crowd. It was at this point that A.L. Frances fell in love with the idea of writing her own book and telling her own story; one that would address one of her biggest fears: the vulnerabilities of broken homes.
At the age of twenty-nine, A.L. Frances decided it was time to start the next chapter of her life.
What follows is the start of her journey…

worst book I've ever had the non-pleasure of reading. i am giving it a 1 star rating because goodreads doesn't have an option lower than that.
I'd like to convey my thanks to pegasus publishers who sent it to me for an honest review, but i couldn't for the life of me finish it.
the prose is pathetic. the writer starts listing her experiences with a certain thing and then continues like 'this is exactly what happened with Matthew'. i kid you not. i felt i was a 4 year old sitting in front of my granny who told me stories that started with 'once upon a time', 'now look what happened next was' and that's exactly what A L Frances did.
why is this crap even published?
