This was great! Sometimes it feels like switching POV gets chaotic, which it did a couple of times, but it was pretty easy to follow and I love the way the story pieced together a little at a time for each character. 

I guess I expected some big twist at the end or for something to go wrong but I’m not even disappointed! Not a twist in sight and it was still fantastic! 

The inclusion of an outside party, Emily, to this situation was almost confusing sometimes. I was almost left wondering if Emily wasn’t a distraction or a diversion to keep the reader guessing. 

The only note I had, and honestly it is more of just my morbid curiosity, is that I wish we’d found out more about Aidan’s relationship with his daughter behind closed doors. Was she abused or was she just privy to his darker side? Did she sense that something was off or did we really get ALL of her thoughts on “Rachel” and her presence in their lives.

Overall, this is bound to be one of my new favorites!
