The use of Poe is great foreshadowing! I never saw the end coming! Literally went “no way” when I put 2 & 2 together!

Aside from uncomfortable content matter (a given, with the title, but still), that final twist at the ending just doesn't work. It surprised me when I heard it, but the more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense.

I get it now why people say they want to close a book, flip it back over, and then begin reading again. This book was very interesting, but it left me with unanswered questions. Five minutes of reading this book and I was hooked. I popped in the audiobook and stood by my bed listening because I was too captivated to get in bed and be comfortable. LOL! This book is so entertaining; sure it's not a deep read, but is so fast-paced that you feel as though you are speeding in the backseat of a taxi and the driver jumps out because there are no breaks and your locks don't work. Enjoy! :)

McFadden's books are too good that I power through them in no time! I strongly disliked most of these characters but they are somehow still written sympathetically enough to want the best for them, which also seems to be a common thread in these novels.
Each chapter had me wondering who to support until the end, as every perspective was written believably. Didn't enjoy the red herring 'twist' so much. Felt a little unbelievable. However, the one in the epilogue had me gasping! Thus the cycle continues...
Another fantastic read. Haven't come across a Freida McFadden book I haven't loved yet!
