I hated the ending.   Are we supposed to feel sorry for Walter and just ignore the fact the he slept with his girlfriends 16 year old daughter when he was 43?  Gross.

0.25 off because a pedophile is a pedophile not matter the twist

This had my jaw on the floor many times. Somebody order a wellness check for Lisa Jewel because her mind is just 🤯

This book was an absolute rollercoaster. I mean this in the best way possible. From the get go, there were so many sprinkles of moments that had me questioning and trying to understand. I absolutely loved this book because it felt like the author was constantly keeping me on my toes! I also loved that not all of the twists were at the very end, like a lot of mystery/thriller books. It also was a book that keeps you guessing until the very end, and even the end of the book there’s still so many questions. I won’t spoil anything, but this is definitely a must read. If you’re a fan of Verity, this is definitely your next read! I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!

Took me a while to get into. The ending gave nothing. This book was on my TBR since its release and it did not deliver.

I don’t remember the last time I read a book this fast, but I couldn’t bear not knowing what was going to happen next! The tension & pacing of the plot were so well done, and it kept me guessing  until the very end. It was such an insane & twisty story, but I wish the ending was a bit more resolved. Overall, a great creepy, mysterious thriller!
