The Child Next Door by Shalini Boland

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I've been getting into reading mystery/thriller novels quite a bit lately. This novel was a great example. I read this when I should've been sleeping, but I couldn't stop reading because I was so hooked.

I really felt like I got in Kirstie's head. I was so worried with her (Boland did a brilliant job of conveying the feelings of anxiety). When she kept investigating further I wanted to shout at her "don't!" I was so angry that nobody believed her. I just got so absorbed into this story...and that ending was great.
