Not sure whether this one will stick with me or not.  Decent mystery, some nice twists.  Not a waste of time, but nothing I would re-read or go out of my way to recommend to people.  One or two things felt a little unfinished or just dropped at the end.  I tend to prefer KAM's YA horror books, which I highly recommend.

This book had way too much happen at the end.  I felt that there were way too many false leads and unnecessary twists. I certainly didn’t know what was going to happen at any given moment, but not in a good way. Everything was “resolved” very quickly and left me not even knowing exactly what happened. I had to read the last chapter twice just to make sure I had the right facts in order. I didn’t particularly care about or like any of the characters. 

That being said, this book was still okay. I probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone I know, but it was not a total waste of my time. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'd been craving a psychological thriller, and this one was good.  Three sisters with secrets - are they keeping secrets to protect each other or to protect someone else?  I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and the satisfying ending.
