Thank you so much to Lindsey Acosta for choosing me to be apart of her ARC team for this amazing book. I cannot believe this was a debut by this author. I read a lot of thrillers and it takes a lot to have me not figure things out and this one I did not see coming. I was hung up on it being someone else than who the murderer actually was. It felt like I was reading a Karin Slaughter novel. I realized at the end of this book that it was a prequel for a new series coming out. I cannot wait for to read more about this insane plot and lovable characters! 

Family secrets, murder, jealousy, deceit are just some things included in this heart pounding thriller. This was easily one of my favorite books of the year and I won’t be shutting up about it for a long time. 

The characters were so well written as well as the plot. It kept me at the edge of my seat trying to play detective and piece everything together. This is a 5 star thriller done right.
