A disturbing read! 

What Lies Between Us explores the story of Nina and Maggie as they traverse their troubling relationship through the prism of flashbacks to the past and the present. 

Told from two perspectives, the story dives into the characters' minds and unravels a deeply disturbing and terrifying story. I have yet to read a book about such a dysfunctional family, with characters so corrupted and irredeemable. In addition, to the intrigue the characters bring, the pacing of the story was excellent with big reveals happening in almost every chapter - I didn't want to put the book down. 

Overall, another great psychological thriller!
