5.0

This had been an impulse grocery store aisle buy. It sounded great a thriller about a daughter trying to kill her mom, sort of Gillian Flynn style was my impression when I read the back.
I really liked the book, the premise and story line was great. I loved the dynamic between the Mom Suzette and the daughter Hannah. I loved how devious Hannah was, yet still had an air of innocence. Alex seemed like a clueless shmuck, which fed right into Hannah’s plans. What I don’t like was some of Suzette’s vulgarity around sex with Alex, and some of the sex scenes. I’m not opposed to sex in a novel, it is part of life, but I felt like the scenes were put in more for shock factor than to further the storyline. They seemed abrupt and poorly placed, and when they appeared they pulled me out of the story, which broke the magic for me. But other than that it was really well written and a page turner for sure.

I hate-liked this book, hard.

This book unlocked a new strain of jaw clenching anxiety for me. Overall, zero likable characters but with relatable feelers. An interesting enough story.

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Wait..what the hell did I just read? LOL I have never hated a character so much in my life. And she was only 7 that seem so very wrong. I really WANTED to love this book but I totally didn't. It's only getting a 3 star from me because I think it was very well written. I didn't enjoy ANY of the characters in this book and the actual story line bothered me quite a bit. It just was NOT for me. I read psychological thrillers and enjoy them very much but I feel like this one was lacking somehow I can't quite put my finger on it. That being said pick it up on release and give it a try if you like crazy stories you may love it LOL

I usually dont leave reviews, only rate them. But honestly I feel like this needs a sequel, it was good, but the ending left some questions in my head, that won't be answered unless there is a sequel.

I didn’t really like this book. The idea of it was very interesting, but I think the execution fell short of my expectations. The writing style was great in some places, but I felt like it wasn’t fully developed in some areas leaving much to be desired at the end of the book
