3.7 This had a couple of good twists. Some highly unlikeable characters though.

I loved this. Full of interesting characters and I didn't mind (as I frequently do) the frequent changes of character narration. I listened to the audio version and found myself reading / listening extra just so I could hear more of it! The main character and her husband are going through infertility issues and that sparks most of the plot. Well, that and a crime.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was centered around a donor discovering once of his children is a killer. It had good pacing, and I would read more from this author.

WOW. I wish I owned this book. It actually was a crazy page turner. I felt like I couldn't put it down. The twists and turns were such gut wrenchers, and I audibly gasped at certain moments that everyone in the family asked me what happened. :D lol SUCH A GREAT BOOK. HATS OFF to J.T. Ellison! Thank you for your brilliant story telling.

I am not going to rate this because I only made it 40 pages in. The plot sounds fascinating and as soon as I finish writing this I am going to look for spoiler reviews so I can find out what happens.

I cannot take the characters though. The husband and wife strike me as despicable people who are ALL OVER THE PLACE. It's one thing for a character to have dimension, but another when they keep jumping from one extreme thought to another, that don't add up.
