This book should come with a content warning. The child molestation passages are disturbing. But the way the story delves into the inner psyche of the characters is intoxicating.

Wow! What a wild ride! My favorite thriller of the year so far. Multiple jaw dropping moments throughout this book. Karin really put a lot of thought and complexity into her characters. Everyone knows a version of a Leigh or a Callie. A heartbreaking end, but it brought it back full circle and could it have ended any other way? I don’t think so.
