a john marrs book that I didn’t like? who am I?

to be perfectly honest, as someone who chronically goes into reads blind and doesn’t read synopsis’, I shouldn’t be surprised that I probably wouldn’t have picked this one up if I had… death of a parent (or estrangement from parents) is one of my biggest triggers, and while I can usually push through if it’s not the main focus, this one unfortunately was…

nina and maggie (a mother / daughter duo) live in the same house, but when no one’s the wiser, nina locks her mother in the attic based on a cryptic past event she did… and that was a little too much for me 🥴

per john marrs typical style, his writing was absolutely poetic and just enough leading to send the reader careening off a cliff in the opposite direction. his twists are unmatched!!

definitely take the chance and pick this one up and make sure you actually read the synopsis and triggers for this one because… this dislike of this book is 100% a me problem y’all 🤠
