⭐⭐⭐⭐

The blurb of this book had me from the beginning and I will say this book did not disappoint!!

The plot is intricately woven, with plenty of twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the very end. The pacing is just right, with a perfect balance between suspenseful moments and quieter, introspective scenes.

With its well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes, this book is a must-read. It is an engaging and suspenseful
story that will keep readers hooked until the very last page.

Caren in a delicate way, writes about themes of neglect, trauma, and the power of the human mind, which made an impact on me.

Evil is always the unexpected.. and wow this book was amazing from the beginning. Twisty, Dark, so much suspense. Didn't want it to end at the same time I did to know what happened to Diana. I loved the POV of each character and told the story well with it. Definitely well written, had my attention from the start. The ants tho... freaked me out.

Thank you Caren Hahn for giving me a chance to read this amazing ARC!

This is an intriguing story of humanity. Great character development and a solid plot that wasn’t just about a twist. I highly recommend this novel!

BIG thank you to Caren Hahn for this ARC in exchange for a review!

This book was heavy, twisty, dark, and so well written. My first book by this author and it will not be my last! I loved that this was a truly believable plot. All of the characters are so well thought out and complex, and I feel like I connected with each one.

My only trouble was with the different timelines as well as different characters. I found that I would sometimes have to reread to keep track of what was happening, but I think that is also because my brain is a million miles a minute

This was my first read by the author! At first, I was a little confused by the way the timelines/point of views were changing but once I got into the flow of the book, I loved how it was able to all come together to make a beautiful ending. I think it really showed DID in a different light and didn’t make it seem as scary as most portrayals tend to do. Really great read and I’d love to read more from the author!

I got this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book really sucked me in from the beginning! I got so engrossed in reading it that I had no idea how much of the book had really passed until I looked and saw I had read anywhere from 10-15 percent without stopping! The story had such a twist at the end that was completely unexpected!! I throughly loved this book.

Get your pen, paper, and take notes!!

I absolutely love this story line and I have found a new hobby- book note taking!
This book starts in present, jumps to the past, a few days before incidents take place. Though our multiple points of view and stories in between!
There is multiple characters some of which I lost track of. But they all made sense in the End!
It’s a very slow burn.

All in all, I enjoyed it. I would read more from this author!

Thank you coren for the opportunity to
Read the book on early release! :)
