I think readers are either going to like this book or hate it. It's very dark. It's very disturbing. It's scary in that you never really know the people in your town. I enjoyed a lot but didn't love it due to the dark material.
Aidan Thomas is someone everyone loves when they see him. He is a family man and a dad. Seems perfect, except he has a dark secret. He is a serial killer that has murdered women (not giving anything away, that's in the synopsis of the book). His life gets turned upside down when his wife dies. He and his child must move out of their house, the only problem is who he has hidden away in the shed behind his house.
'Rachel' was kidnapped 5 years ago by Aidan. For some reason, he has kept her alive. Now that they have to move will he keep her alive?
As I said, this is a disturbing book. I enjoyed the character development of 'Rachel'. How she changes throughout the book. That was about the only character development I noticed. Everyone else pretty much stayed the same.
Beware that there are trigger warnings: kidnapping, abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual), rape and murder.
Tentative Publication Date: June 20, 2023
Thanks to Netgalley and Knopf for the E-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
🙂 Happy Reading 🙃
