Seeing a fictional character with my last name is always a fun surprise. This is my first novel by the author and I’m ready to read more from Jennifer (backlist & future books) as always, I love when I don’t see the plot twist coming and I really thought Derek was the one behind it (spoiler - he is not) The fact that we had two POV’s was great and made the story feel more rounded.

The book club I'm in (The Creepy Book Club) read this as our back up book for February. What a great book. I had some of it figured out but not all of it. I will definitely read more by this author.

Another that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Finished the book within 8hrs. I NEEDED to know what happened next after each chapter. Google told me they plan to adapt the book into a show series on Peacock. Can’t wait to see how they compare and would hope it stays true to the book as much as possible.
