4.5**** Another banger from John Marrs!!! He has quickly become one of my favorite thriller authors and this new book did not disappoint. Though I did dock 0.5 of a star, I only did because I found myself longing for his sci-fi/black mirror stories that I absolutely adored in The Passengers and The One. This is a psychological domestic thriller, which I normally don’t reach for. I thought the writing lived up to everything I was hoping for. I flew through this book and stayed up until 3 AM just to finish it! I was able to predict a lot of the twists and turns, but I don’t count that as a bad thing necessarily. I cannot wait to keep reading more of the books on his roster.

That was so different than “The one” and “The passengers”!!
I started this book without knowing anything about it and that was a good call so please just dive right in.
John Marrs is my insta-read author now!

This book had an interesting start and a confusing ending. It was easy to follow at first, and then started to go in many directions.

i found this book to be slow until it wasn’t… Nina keeping her mom hostage in the attic because of crimes she thought she committed, which her mom was complicit in but only because Nina had done terrible things - what a creative storyline!
