This is a Poe-like story diving into the depths of the dark sides of motherhood. While on vacation, the main character, a middle-aged divorceé becomes obsessed with a young mother that is a part of an overbearing family.

This book dives into the selfishness that resides in everyone and the consequences that can occur when you give in to your deepest desires.

I gave this book a 3.5 because I don’t think I’ll ever visit it again, but if you are into the horror thriller genre, I’d definitely give it a try.
