This one didn't do it for me either. It kept my attention but there wasn't really a wow moment, in my opinion. I feel like my last few reads have been very disappointing 😞. The only reason I rated this 3 stars is because I didn't expect the ending at all.

4.0
4.25⭐
Genre ~ psychological thriller
Publication date ~ August 30, 2023
Page Count ~ 312 (50 chapters)
POV ~ dual 1st & single 3rd
Featuring ~ dual timeline ~ now & 1976, brutal murder, stalking, revenge
The Writer lives secluded in the woods with her old German Shepherd, Whisky. She only goes out to do talks and book signings at the local library. She suffers from amnesia as a result of a hit and run.
Heather (yay for my name) changed her name to Mary when she got out of prison. Now she's out for revenge and watching The Writer's every move.
We know something horrific happened in the Summer of 1976, but we don't know exactly what for quite a while. Poor, neglected Heather narrates what goes down and led her to prison term. You can't help but feel sad for her upbringing.
Whisky was the most reliable and friendliest of the bunch. A faithful companion. Always ready for a walk, or a treat, or to take a nice long snooze in his bed after exploring the woods. There was a heart pounding moment at the beginning when he was missing and we feared harm, but he was perfectly fine.
Overall, a nice fast paced thriller with some suspenseful, edge of the seat, moments. If you like stalkers out for revenge then you'll probably enjoy this one.
