Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
Thank you to Netgalley and McMillan audio for thos Audio arc.
Just like home is a suspense thriller that has a gothic atmosphere to it. You're following Vera, a women returning home to aid her mother on her death bed, who hasn't been to her childhood home since she left as a young women after finding our her father was a serial killer.
Upfront, I dnf'ed this audiobook half way through as much as didn't want to. I really couldn't see this getting any better.
I was so excited for this thriller, the idea of Vera returning home and dealing with the relationship with her mother and father and their history. The cover and description hooked me but the actual story was a let down.
I'd hope the author would visit Vera's teens years more than they had. I'd listen to 30% of the audiobook and realized there was so much redundant phrase to describe the house, Vera, her mother and what Vera's mother was like- it felt like filler.
Perhaps I will pick this up again from my local library to finish it but I was disappointed with what I read.
