Unbelievably believable book. I devoured every page and was completely caught up in the story. I live in Oregon, and we have had our fair share of terrifying serial killers. The author absolutely nailed the tone and setting of the communities. (It helps that she's from Oregon herself.) The story is told from a dual POV and full of so many questions and moments of doubt on both sides that I didn't realize the truth

of the identity of the kidnapped girl

until it was revealed. I had plenty of theories, though! Fantastic book and incredible storytelling. Five stars!

.25 off because there is a difference between a good plot twist and betraying your audiences trust for shock value. However this author does toe the line by making it up after the fact with the ending

A very tense thriller/mystery that you will want to binge! I liked the plot and the two character perspectives. I did guess that

“Mary” wasn’t Lola in the end but it was still a good read.

I liked the fast pace and

Wayne is downright creepy and horrible. The ending was sad but not all novels end in a happy ever after.

I also got to meet the author and she was super cool and I’m excited to read her other novels that will be releasing soon.

That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally 

I didn’t think I would enjoy this as much as I did! I stayed up until 1am to finish it. Total page turner. Told in dual perspectives. The suspense was executed so well. I went into this one blindly and I’m glad I did. Fast paced. Engaging. Intense. Emotional. Captivating. Easy read. I did not guess the ending at all. In fact, I was very wrong. This is a book you can totally finish in one day. 

Amazing debut from the author! 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
