The Spires by Kate Moretti
3.0
**Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**
The Spires follows a woman named Penelope, 20 years after a tragic house fire that upended a friend group forever. Penelope has done everything in her power to distance herself from the events of that tragedy, abandoning all contact with the 4 friends that were almost like family.
When one of those old friends, Willa, shows up at Penelope’s doorstep in need of help - she welcomes her with open arms. Things start to spiral quickly as Willa inserts herself into every facet of Pen’s live, getting involved with her husband and her kids.
The story toggles back and forth between past and present, leading to a dramatic ending. I found the story to be a fun, quick read, but slightly predictable and redundant. I recommend this story to anyone that likes thrillers, mysteries, and stories that cross timelines
