Review
Lately, I have been a sucker for psychological thrillers and this one did not disappoint. There were even times where I got the heebie-jeebies and that doesn’t happen often.
This story has a lot of twists and turns especially at the end. There were several things that totally surprised me and I never saw coming. I can’t say too much because it would definitely give away the ending.
It is interesting to see what people will do and believe when it comes to family. The Clarke’s have seen some tragedies over the last few years which have also torn their family apart. Denial, acting out, losing hope are just some of the things that the family endured. But despite all of that, Nic just couldn’t believe her mom was gone and that could have led to her downfall if she trusted the wrong person.
The book flips between Molly and Nic’s POV which kept the story interesting. Once we know what happened to Molly, I have to admit I was a bit freaked out because I knew this couldn’t end well and just the situation itself was intense. There is a little girl, Alice, that is around the same age as Molly’s deceased daughter, Annie. For a young girl (9), she came across and possibly a sociopath. Her emotions were all over the place and we would see her go from happy to mad to sad to coy in what seemed like minutes. But at the same time, she wanted Molly to be her new mommy and she would do things she probably wasn’t supposed to do.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but I will definitely check out what else she has written because if they are anything like this book, I’m sure I will enjoy those stories.
We give this book 5 paws up.
