Special thanks to the author & @blackstonepublishing for my gifted listening copy‼️
I loved the cover of this book so much I had to buy it and after finally reading it I was not disappointed. This was a fast-paced believe nothing and question everything twisted thriller that had me hooked from beginning to end.
It started off a bit sad with our characters losing their mother. Then took a major turn when Beth heard her mother’s final words “Don’t trust.” Immediately we’re thrown into a web of lies and go down the rabbit hole trying to uncover the truth behind a VHS tape dated back to 1999.
All fingers were pointed at their dad who was covered in blood on the tape and asking their mother for help to hide the body. But as we get deeper our suspicions shift from person to person then you realize the truth was hidden in plain sight. Idk how but I knew from the beginning who the killer would be it was just something about their character.
Overall, this was a pretty good read that will make you question why people do the things they do. And why they choose to protect and look past the wrongdoings of the ones they love. The way the narrative changed up and went in a different direction made this a really good twisted thriller. The writing style was convincing and kept me guessing for the most part. I also loved how well the author plotted everything out and gave us multiple perspectives from each character. If you’re looking for a good family thriller this is the perfect read for October.
