the first like 20% ish, i wasn’t too hooked on it and then we get to the tapes and i was so intrigued, didn’t want to put it down.  the twist i had a hunch about after a certain part ( no spoilers here ) but i wasn’t entirely sure and i didn’t totally get it right but god damn this ended up being good.  

i do think the ending was a tiny bit rushed but i didn’t mind it, movies do the same thing.  overall it was great, reminded me a lot of ready or not, which is one of my favorite movies.

Catherine Steadman is an author that is have unwittingly gravitated towards. I love her slow burn suspense and her narration is spectacular! The fact that she narrates her own books is kind of what draws me to her. I also really love that her stories involve a lot of mystery without being TOO mysterious and the main character doesn’t seem unreliable. In this story, Harriet (Harry) Reed is getting married into one of America’s most wealthy families. Her future husband, Edward, seems to have steered clear of them for several years because, he claims, they are overbearing and he implies they are scary. She joins Edward to visit his family for Thanksgiving where she meets the patriarch, a handsome, powerful man who immediately seems to read Harriet from the moment he sees her. That first dinner together proves to be the spark that ignites the fire of this off putting family and Harriet. As she finds out, everyone has secrets and those secrets can be used against you. I loved not knowing who was good and who was bad and I also loved how it ended, I just wish *blank* wasn’t the bad one. Also, the hard use of the word “cunt” towards the end was so fantastically wonderful and appropriate.
