This was a great vacation read. It’s not too fast that you finish it in one go but it’s also not so slow you get bored. Hazel gets called back to her home at Mirror Lake with the death of her father, the man who raised her after her mother swept into the town in a a whirlwind and swept out just the same leaving Hazel behind. Her newfound family isn’t entirely trusting of her. One brother loathes her for what her mother did but the other seems to take her under his wing while her adoptive father cares for her like his own. The memorial of her father brings about new discoveries and new secrets. Soon, Hazel isn’t safe anywhere in Mirror Lake but she can’t leave either. I loved that Megan Miranda kept the small lake town feel of this book but with a totally different kind of character in Hazel. I can’t wait for her next book!

I feel like it was written in a very expressive way that would be great as a movie. This thriller was slow to build, you felt for the misunderstood main character, and it was written to make you question everyone and stay ok edge. But by the end, I felt like the action fell a little flat. But all-in-all, I thought it was a good read.
