I'm rounding up to 5 stars bc I can't remember the last time a book made me gasp out loud bc of a twist. I had to put the book down and gather my thoughts! If you want twists and turns, John Marrs is your guy. This book follows a couple that buys a house sight unseen (sure?) and uncovers a million family secrets in the process. There is a lot of disturbing stuff in here (e.g. murder), but I could not look away.
