Absolutely loved the writing style, it read like a movie with how descriptive it was. The twist literally made me “what the f***” out loud.
I figured out the twist very early, but still - solid thriller, different premise in that we/she always know who the killer is.
Unlike a lot of thrillers or mystery books which start out slow, this book kept me interested from page 1. It’s not really a whodunnit because we have a self-admitted killer right from the outset, but I feel like this gives the mystery novel a fresh take.
Also if my husband treated me like Hen’s treats her...D-I-V-O-R-C-E, and thank you, next.✌️

A solid thriller that makes you question what’s real and what’s not. How much is mental illness and how do you draw the line when no one believes you? A good page turner.
This was fabulous. I guessed some twists near the beginning, but that didn’t stop me from getting chills when it revealed I was correct. Creepy and riveting from the beginning.
I don’t know exactly how to feel about this book. I definitely wanted to know how it end, and I was totally absorbed in the story as I was reading. However, I don’t ever see myself going back and rereading this book. I also have some issues with it. Of course. I’m writing my little Goodreads review so I must have some thing to say about it.
I am not much for thrillers, but I read another book by this author, and I enjoyed it so I thought I would try this one. I would say, I guess that Richard and Matthew were the same person about halfway through, but the other did a good job of making me question if that was really the case. The last couple pages before the reveal I had gone back to thinking they were two people.
I felt like the author made things too easy for Hen at the end. Her cheating husband? He gets dead. The crazy killer? She talks him out of killing her. She gets the house, no more husband, no more neighbors. Kind of a win-win for her. I didn’t think the revelation about Dustin at the end was necessary. It felt more like someone told the author he needed to make a more realistic connection between the two.
I don’t think the author did a very good job writing from a women’s perspective. if I had the energy, I would go back and find all the really bad lines, but one that sticks with me was when Hen thinks about “ the first time she had an orgasm with only intercourse.” That is something no one has ever thought ever.
Anyway. This had your typical thriller tropes, but it was well done, and I didn’t hate it. Will I be revisiting it or reading more by this author? Only time will tell.
