It's been a while since I've flown through and fully enjoyed a thriller. But BABY, this one! I couldn't put it down.

And just when I thought I knew who was responsible, it wasn't. But then there were even more twists & reveals after THAT! And then I was like, 🫵🏾. I tore this up. It was suspenseful. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling!

This openly mentions abuse, depression , death & childhood trauma along with coping with an unhealed past, which may be triggering for some.

Can't wait to see what else I've been missing from Shanora Williams!

Thank you so much Netgalley and Shanora Williams for this ARC

This book was a good read. It had an intriguing plot in which everyone loves to know what happened to the Wife before! I found the build up to be good and I loved the ending.
