Has her sister’s entire life been a lie? And how did her young niece get the bruises she is hiding? And who keeps calling her in the middle of the night?

As their father works his way into their lives, Rachel finds her ordered world slipping away. Already reeling from the breakup of her own marriage, she doesn’t know who to trust - her father or her sister.

Interesting ending

Good storyline. Felt like it was dragging at times. I wasn’t a very big fan of the narrator. The accent became irritating after some time.

Pretty Predictable But Still Good

This book was pretty predictable but still a good story. The narrator was a little annoying as the two main characters sounded exactly alike. I’m not sure I’ve ever explained listening to a book like that. Even with each new chapter stating which chapter belonged to which sister it still got confusing. Some chapters were very short so pay close attention in the beginning of each.

Sorta plain

It was interesting at times but I wouldn’t recommend it to others. Something to play in the background.

Plot was good

I really liked that I kept getting turned around. It kept me interested. The characters all had flaws which was refreshingly real to life.

Not a fulfilling ending

The book hooks you where even when you’re getting mad you can’t put it down you wanna know how it ends but once you get to the end it’s kinda disappointing

Good story. Narration could be improved. 

I like the story. It had some good mystery to it. The two sisters voices were exactly the same so it was hard to tell the difference about who was talking sometimes. Even the male voices were similar.

Unlikable sisters

I found every character quite unlikable, so I had no investment in any of their outcomes.

Good character development

An author who knows how to develop characters and wrap up situations in the plot. A bit slow---and by chapter 63 the pace quickens and there's a good story.

A really great book

I loved that it kept me guessing. The narrator was easy to understand. I hope other books by this author are this good.
