This book was straight fire. 🔥 Right off the bat, I knew it was going to be good after reading McAllister’s dedication to a former police officer who she consulted in writing this book. She is clearly a woman who wanted to do her story right, and she succeeded! McAllister offers multiple points of view. We follow three adults who all have one thing in common: the absolute desire to protect their children from harm, no matter the cost. I am not a mother, but it was so easy to imagine and feel a mother’s love inside of me while reading this book. That is some spectacular writing, and what’s more is that her acknowledgments share the following: “This year, I write them at thirty-seven weeks pregnant, about to find out whether this parenthood business I’ve been writing about for so long is all I thought it would be.” Like me, she must have already had some dogs she loved more than life or something, because I felt it! McAllister also served up a few unique twists, including two that I did not guess and which were entirely believable. This is not a thriller that will have you rolling your eyes; it is one that you will have you scared of the people around you. 🤣 Well done. Let’s go read her backlist now. 🤪
