Ummmm…WOW! I was literally on the edge of my seat reading this one. It’s different from what I have been reading but I definitely enjoyed it. I started it yesterday afternoon and finished this afternoon. I read it so fast because it held my interest the entire time.
It’s supernatural, on top of mystery/thriller so if that’s your kind of book you will enjoy it as much as I did. I recommend this book completely. I don’t like spoilers, when looking to see how others rate books so I’m not going to give anything away. I hope you give it a chance.

Thank you Atria Books, Allison Gunn and NetGalley for this EARC. This was my first one and hopefully not my last.

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

DNF at 20%

I walked into this one expecting to be creeped out and made it to the 20% mark without anything remarkable happening. This could be a case of wrong reading mood versus anything to gripe about the book itself, but I’m setting it aside because I don’t find myself drawn to pick it back up.

Well, this started strong. I was really into the setting and small town vibes. The family dynamic was intriguing and provided for some good drama. Ultimately, this went a bit off the rails. This was compared to Mare of Easttown which absolutely was the wrong way to market this book. This leans towards horror (still didn’t fully commit) over a police procedure. Rachel was an awful wife, mother and bad at her job - you can’t be all three and be a good MC! The dialogue became rough, the characters sucked and the ending was all over the place. Others may have a better time though!

I’m so conflicted about how to rate this book because it was so compelling but damn I hated the ending
