When Cassie moves into her husband's Jon's old family home, she thinks her family is able to start fresh and get away from the feeling of being watched, a feeling she knows all too well from their last house. Cassie makes friends with Amy who later becomes a dog walker for Suki, Cassie's dog. As Cassie tries to get to know Amy more, she's becomes very vague and suspicious, leaving Cassie to question who really is Amy. One day, Cassie's son Teddy is taken and it all begins to fall into place. 

I really enjoyed this dual-POV thriller! It had me gripped from the very beginning and had me on the edge of my seat right until the very end. I loved the twists and turns this book brought! I didn't expect the ending at all which I think is why I gave it a higher rating. The narrator was perfect for this story and made it so much easier to listen too. 

I really didn't like Jon at all and questioned why on Earth Cassie stayed with him. It's apparent that they were never going the power couple Cassie craved and Jon is really just a controlling, aggressive man child. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookotoure Audio for sending me a copy of this one to review. This was my first Frankland book and it certainly won't be my last!
