This book was good. I was told it was dark, which for some it is but I almost wanted more. It got especially good in the second half. Great story but needed a bit more, I’m guess I was given higher expectations.

There was a plot point that wasn't my personal flavor, and out of Stevens's other works this isn't her strongest thriller.

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Honestly, I went into this book without any high expectations. I saw a reading vlog Jacquline did on her channel on reading a Chevy Stevens book and it happened to be this one. She gave it a high rating and I figured I’d give it a go.
This book is so fast paced, things happening straight from the beginning. I will say massive TRIGGER warnings though ⛔️ If that is something you’re worried about I’d look into those first. There’s quite a few.
Something I didn’t quite like at the beginning was how odd the time frame was. It could be days in a few pages, weeks, months and then BAM years went by. By the end of the book I was used to the timing and it didn’t bother e as much anymore.
Throughout this book I kept feeling like I wasn’t going to give it a high rating. It felt more like a lifetime movie to me. But man, by the end, you’re so close to the characters I just had to give this a 4 stars.
A story of three sisters, trauma, and how they’ve overcome their nightmares together.
