Psychological suspense has really come into its own the past couple of years, there are so many great offerings that there is truly something for everyone out there. It’s very difficult for me to review this book without giving away spoilers, and this book is most definitely enjoyed more by going in fairly blind.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions are my own. Thank you to MIRA books for including me on this blog tour. This post contains affiliate links, see disclosures for more detail.
About the Book:
When Eleanor Hardwicke’s beloved father dies, her world is further shattered by a gut-wrenching secret: the man she’s grieving isn’t really her dad. Eleanor was the product of an affair and her biological father is still out there, living blissfully with the family he chose. With her personal life spiraling, a desperate Eleanor seeks him out, leading her to uncover another branch on her family tree—an infuriatingly enviable half sister.
Perfectly perfect Victoria has everything Eleanor could ever dream of. Loving childhood, luxury home, devoted husband. All of it stolen from Eleanor, who plans to take it back. After all, good sisters are supposed to share. And quiet little Eleanor has been waiting far too long for her turn to play.
My Thoughts:
I gave this book 3/5 stars
For most of the book, I was thinking this was a 2 star book. I pretty much knew where it was going and the characters are unlikable for the most part. All of them do stupid things and there are some absolutely unbelievable things that would never happen in real life. Yet I bumped the rating up in the end because this is one twisted story, meaning that it doesn’t go exactly where I thought and some of the characters end up being quite twisted themselves.
It’s quite a head-shaker, but for a thriller it moves quickly and has a story that will keep readers entertained if only in a “watching-a-car-wreck” kind of a way. I didn’t care for the ending at all, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth (and almost made me take that star back again). I can’t give out more information without giving spoilers, so go read the book and decide for yourself.
