Interesting, it was a suspense, with a hint of mythical magical. The MC has issues, irritating and immature at times I had a hard time liking her. The bad person is so << shutter >> The flaws in the characters just didn’t fit well for this reader.
Ruby is estranged from her family. She avoids calls, seeing them, doesn’t even even them know where she lives. Then she isolates herself, taking time away from work, rarely has human interaction at all. One sleepless night she notices her neighbor, fit good looking practicing yoga she sneakily watches. After a while she gets stalkers and manipulates a meeting with him. Unfortunately for her, she’s way out of her league in this field.
Ruby has a sister, a cop. When Ruby gets in trouble her sister risked everything to try to protect her. yes, that is wonderful but she does it in such a way I wanted to scream. She’s a cop, she knows how not to get caught but she just does everything wrong. I slammed the book done more than once with a “Seriously ?!”
There is physical abuse, verbal abuse, child abuse, and more. The bad is really a nasty one, and a smart one. It was so easy to hate this person.
The magical touch was a bit outside the story for me. It was worked into the story but still felt outside of it. I felt like the story would have been better if more time was spent on it or if it was dropped completely.
I liked the story, but it felt like there was too much unbelievable, and stupid actions from characters.

I’m not usually a fan of supernatural elements baked into my mysteries, but I was intrigued by the way this book handled that aspect of things. I liked the shifting perspectives because they added complexity to the interpersonal relationships.
