Eight years ago, Geniver gave birth to a stillborn baby, a girl she and her husband Art named "Beth." Since then, they have tried several failed rounds of IVF. Art is eager to try new procedures, but Gen is tired of the hope and the loss - she just wants her daughter. When a woman comes to Gen's door and says that Beth is still alive, Gen knows the story is too crazy to believe. But she believes, and she starts searching for answers. All I can say about this book is… Holy Crap. Can I give it TEN out of five stars? I finished it in several hours, couldn't put it down even though I thought my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. The twists and turns are excellent and the writing is top notch. Definitely seeking out more by this author.

Okay, I thought I had the plot figured out 1/3 of the way through. I didn't. I actually really enjoyed this book. It was suspenseful and exciting. It reminded me of Sister by Rosamund Lupton and Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson--in the best way possible. Yes, it had a few plot-holes and yes parts were unbelievable but it's a fun ride.

I won this book on goodreads giveaways . This book was able to immediately keep my attention and I had a hard time putting it down . I loved the mystery and suspense in the book but some things just seemed a bit far fetched . I did enjoy reading the book though .

2.5 rounded up.

This book was too long. It lost me at like the 80% mark and I was just trying to figure out the reveal.


Speaking of the reveal...I’m sorry, what??

Gah. There were so many moments that were thrilling but there were almost too many red herrings. Meh.
