Good but sad. I wanted to beat some sense into the daughter. I still don't understand how a child can be born evil like this. I am so lucky for my childhood and 'normal' family.

Here’s the thing…. Probably don’t read this when you’re pregnant like I did. It was really well written and I loved the mothers perspective but wow did it give me bad dreams.

4.8 -OMG WHY DID IT HAVE TO END LIKE THAT
Okay, this was an emotional rollercoaster.. very heavy on the psychological drama. I really felt the main character's uncertainty and fear, however, it kinda felt dragged on (why it's not 5 stars for me). Like, yes, I know you are feeling this way,and it sucks but like, do something about it. Idk maybe I'm just too harsh on the circumstances in which she was in. It's a very interesting perspective on motherhood as well since we get a feel of three generations of women and their trickling impact (good and bad) on eachother. I think if I remove myself from the story it's 5 stars for me so I'll round up lol the things she did as a mother are not things I would do (or agree with) especially when it came to her daughter. I couldn't empathize entirely but i did when it came to her son, for sure. The ending made me release the breath I didn't even know I was holding

This thriller had everything going for it until the end. What could have been a more intense ending just fell flat because it was bogged down by emotion. There was still surprise and intrigue but just not to the level I thought the buildup would lead to.
