This is a book that is all about the plot set out to shock. The story starts slowly although there are plenty of clues that things are not alright and eventually builds to two of the characters having sex whilst watching someone die along with snuff movies. It's about obsession and addiction, how far someone will go to love another person and I really didn't like it. I got the feeling it isn't just how far the characters can go but also how far the author can go, too.

I'm not awarding any stars for this one. It's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back. Free on Kindle. Says it all.… (mehr)

"‘You heard what I said. I know everything. Don’t ask me about it again and I’ll keep your secret. Even though it makes me feel ill thinking about it.’"

This is the third book I've read from this author. They always write enjoyable domestic suspense books. I really liked The Dinner Guest.

This book is a little tough for me to describe. Stephanie, our main character, is entangled in a mystery with her neighbors, whose son was the best friend of her son Danny. She lost both her husband and son in a car accident. We switch POVs between Stephanie and Danny as we move forward and backward in time. In the present, Stephanie has woken up after an explosion with amnesia, trying to remember the events involving the neighbors.

There really wasn't much of a mystery in the end and the ending was lackluster. After all the build up of what was in the attic, i definitely expected more than what it ended up being. This is definitely my least favorite of the 3 books I've read from this author.

Thank you netgalley and HarperCollins, One More Chapter for giving me an advanced review copy (oops 😬) in exchange for an honest review.… (mehr)
