Ashley Audrain is the best. Great weaving over stories, strong control of her characters and no wasted space on the page. The twist at the end was amazing, I was hooked 
where the son has woken up and waits to be alone with his mom, and asks her what will happen when he tells them everything (about what he saw and what she did). I was so scared when she started to manipulate him and suggest that he might have misremembered things because of the coma, that her son might fall for it out of desperation for her attention
