So much I didn’t expect happened in this book. It’s a mix of mystery and horror that’s pretty well-done. The characters, are lovable despite their short-comings. This was a great book to end spooky season with and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Dark n twisty at its finest. Every time I had a new theory, I was almost immediately proven wrong. A little slow to set the scene but about halfway through, it picks up and does not stop! Twist after twist - read the last 150 pages in one sitting and skipped dinner.

Omg this book was so dang good! tere were like 15 plot twists and i loved every single one of them. basically this woman is a celebrity and she finds a woman in the lake limp motionless, whom she saves and befriends her after reviving her. after then dhe finds out the girl lives woth her husband in the glass house across the lake. she then uses her binoculars to spy their house because she felt that something was off. soon the woman she saved from the lake goes missing and shady stuff starts happeninf and you’ll have to find out yourself!! literally so good. also, this book skips back and forth from “before” and “now” and they finally crescendo into the same time line which is super fun to read. might sound confusing right now but the “now” parts are super short so don’t worry. also they are to keep you wondering and wanting more. so good!! such a fun read i read it in 2 days.
