![]() ![]() The way all the threads came together while the villains’ plans unraveled was a joy to witness. ![]() The supporting cast was every bit as nuanced as the main characters. The setting, at times serene and at times frightening, became another character and advanced the plot. Such a vibrant rendering of a character is difficult to do, and Caine made it look effortless. My heart pounded right along with hers, my stomach lurched when hers did. I am not, however, in a situation remotely similar to hers. ![]() I am a proud mother, so I understand the character’s Mama Bear desperation to protect her kids. ![]() I was completely drawn into the main character’s inner turmoil. And now, I can’t imagine a different perspective. But the premise of the story made me willing to risk it. This book is written in first person, which I always say I don’t prefer. Rachel Caine already has a huge following, and I can see why. When I saw a book promising to focus on the family of the serial killer rather than the killer, the hunted, or the cops investigating the crimes, I was intrigued. I enjoy reading many genres, but maybe none more so than psychological thrillers. ★★★★★ Palpable Desperation Kept Me Riveted ![]()
