I think I read this book too far apart to really give a intelligent review. I will say that all of the characters sucked, but especially the main character and her sister. Definitely check out content warnings because this book had a lot of them...

This book is such an enjoyable read! There are so many twists and turns throughout the book that constantly left me guessing, and I was never bored. I'm not giving it the full 5 stars because it does become a little confusing towards the end and opens the possibility for plot holes, and there are still a lot of questions I didn't feel were answered and should have been. Regardless, I would recommend this book to any mystery lover who enjoys a bit of thrill and isn't afraid of dark topics. This is my kind of book.

Not, my favorite Alice Feeny book and the book was pretty slow-paced, but it was still an entertaining read. I read it in a day. The twist at the end was good though.
That rape scene was unnecessary.
She's definitely improved though. I think I'm more keen on her newer books.
