Oh my gosh. Where do I even begin with this book? So many plot twists that I truly NEVER knew what was coming next. Usually I think some twists are predictable and cliché, but this was nothing of the sort. A complex and deceitful story about an extremely toxic relationship between a mother and daughter. There’s so much I could say, but I think you should just read this book for yourself. If you love thrillers, suspense, twists, and vengeance - then you’ll love this book. It’s easy to follow, short chapters (my personal fav!), and just enough characters to keep the book complex and interesting. It will hold your attention and keep you fully engaged. It also challenges your own introspective thoughts. You really reason with the characters, Maggie in particular, and why people make the choices they do. I would love to have learned a little more about what happened after the ending of the story, but I think it was a full circle moment. I can see why the author chose to end it right there and leave you like 🤯🤯🤯. Also, this story shows how sometimes a mother’s love can be too much of a good thing. GREAT ploy and I’m so glad I read this book. It was a new style of thriller that has me wanting to read more John Marrs books!!

I was enthralled and eager to find out the secrets, but it was just sad and horrible the whole time, with no relief.

I found the book started off a bit confusing to read and understand the storyline with the constant changes between Nina and Maggie narrating chapters while the also changes in time periods, but once I got into it I was hooked and didn’t want to put the book down because I just wanted to know what happened with these characters. 

There were twists and turns round every corner, and John Marrs didn’t disappoint with a great thriller.
