Kinda Weird

It’s Definitely a good book it’s just the mother has a emotional incest relationship with her son

Masterfully told!

Loved the “edge of my seat” pace of this one! Somewhat predictable but told in such a way you really second-guess your own suspicions. Well done!

Mediocre in every aspect

Could have cut the length in half. Very similar plot to many others. Tooooo long & then abruptly ended.

So so good!

Amazingly written and read. I couldn't stop listening. I haven't heard anything this good in a while!

Wow

This book starts out slow but totally had me engaged. The last quarter of the book will pull everything together as you can get confused by a couple of characters. No worries, just enjoy the journey and I’m always predicting the end and I was spot on. Great book!!
