![]() I read this book in one day, and I’ve already downloaded other Caine titles. Authors don’t often surprise me, but I have to admit it took me longer to guess who the true adversaries were than usual. The way all the threads came together while the villains’ plans unraveled was a joy to witness. The supporting cast was every bit as nuanced as the main characters. The setting, at times serene and at times frightening, became another character and advanced the plot. Such a vibrant rendering of a character is difficult to do, and Caine made it look effortless. My heart pounded right along with hers, my stomach lurched when hers did. I am not, however, in a situation remotely similar to hers. I am a proud mother, so I understand the character’s Mama Bear desperation to protect her kids. I was completely drawn into the main character’s inner turmoil. And now, I can’t imagine a different perspective. But the premise of the story made me willing to risk it. ![]() This book is written in first person, which I always say I don’t prefer. Rachel Caine already has a huge following, and I can see why. When I saw a book promising to focus on the family of the serial killer rather than the killer, the hunted, or the cops investigating the crimes, I was intrigued. ![]() I enjoy reading many genres, but maybe none more so than psychological thrillers. ★★★★★ Palpable Desperation Kept Me Riveted ![]()
