Mixed feelings about this one, interesting premise but too many melodramatic connections and coincidences to make it relatable to me. Others might enjoy it though

Unfortunately not for me. The blurb sounded great but I just couldn’t get on with it and gave up at 20%.

Wowzers! This was one jam packed story of nail biting suspense that didn't let up until I turned the last page!

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller! It had me guessing what was going to happen the whole way through. There were many twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. This one was unputdownable for sure! I was tearing through the pages desperate for the truth! I didn't feel any real connection to the characters, but thought they were all very well developed. I really wanted to know what Carys' backstory was and what she was hiding. I thought her and Sara were the most interesting. What a thrilling read!

In my opinion this book is completely advertised wrong; it's supposed to be a psychological thriller but there is nothing thrilling about it whatsoever, it was more of a family drama for me. I didn't care enough about what was going on and was just going through the motions trying to get it finished.
I think this has been the worst book in terms of characters for me, absolutely none of them were likeable (well maybe Binnie and the dog); Carys was too much of a try hard and Sara was just an immature, whiny specimen that thinks she can waltz back in after a decade missing and just take over.
No thrills, all drama (and not in a good way).
