5.0

Very disturbing thriller about a child who isn’t what her adoptive parents think she is. 

Very intense and dark at times, not for the faint of heart. 

My first read of Lucinda Berry’s books and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed how real this book felt and her background in psychology really informs her writing.
