I fully expected to LOVE this book especially since I love the author duo.
This book had a great premise and setup. I was really loving it when it started and was so excited to see where it was going to go. In the end, I felt the book revealed too much too soon and that made the ending drag. Nothing groundbreaking and a bit predictable for me, but not the worst in my opinion.

I've previously enjoyed co-authored works by Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks, so I thought I would like this book as well. It was a middle-of-the-road read/listed for me. Kate Mara did a wonderful job with the narration.
Ruth Sterling and her daughter Catherine have always been together - just the 2 of them. Ruth begins to show signs of
I saw the ending coming from a mile away - the final 'twist' is very predictable. I do enjoy Pekannen's writing a flow, which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2.
