Emma in The Night by Wendy Walker was captivating from the first page to the last. The second I saw the cover I just knew I was going to love this story, but it ended up being even twistier than I expected. I really loved the characters and thought the way the story flowed was great. This story has fantastic pacing and in a rare case, I actually loved the investigative angle. I think because it was mixed with the point of view Cass brought forth, it made this more interesting than a straight detective novel. I think that this suspense novel is definitely a must read.

Dull characters with a tedious plot. Overwritten, repetative, incesty storyline with overly dramatic, cringey writing that made me roll my eyes far too often.

This book was fantastic! It kept me interested every step of the way. I wouldn't say that it's a thriller so much, it's more about the psychology of the main character and her family, but there is still a compelling mystery at the heart of the story. The narration is fascinating and it flips everything around on you when you aren't expecting it. Even the parts you think you can predict come out much different than you expect.
