There‘s a lot going on in this psychological thriller. Trigger warnings include eating disorders, grooming and predatory behavior, abuse and more. This is one of those stories where you aren‘t quite sure who to believe, and whether or not mental illness is at play. It kept me going until the end.

My favourite part in this book is Emma‘s husband. He knows about her starving-binging-purging cycle, her anxiety and even her darkest secret, yet he stays with her till the end. Though its hard to believe what his wife confessed to him, and that every time he wanted to leave Emma alone because of her past, he reminds himself that the day he took the vows as her husband, he shall stay through thick and thin with her no matter what happens.

I had been very excited about this book so my own take on it is disheartening. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Perhaps you will enjoy it more than I did. But it isn‘t something that I, personally, would recommend.

My dream car ~ right down to the color!

I enjoyed this much more than I expected to.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Decided to do the 50% off 6 months of Kindle Unlimited deal and this is the first book I'm reading 😊

The past always finds a way to catch up with our present... Well this book took me by surprise! It took me a few chapters to fully commit to this book but once I was in, I couldn‘t stop reading! Such an intense psychological thriller that keeps you double-guessing until the end! Definitely looking forward to reading more books from Caroline Mitchell #AMustRead

While I wait at my doctors appointment, I always read! So I guess I don‘t mind the wait! 🤷🏽‍♀️📖🤓

Thanks, @JoeStalksBeck - I finished this one today! I‘ve been terrible lately in neglecting my kindle but I added audio to this one yesterday and switching between the two, finished this fast-paced thriller quickly! Told in three voices, with short chapters across two timelines, I thoroughly enjoyed this!!! And it was fun to #AudioColor this dress since Emma owns a dress shop!

In 2002, and Emma is a teenager who becomes infatuated with her art teacher, Luke. After things go too far, the only way Emma can continue with her life is to end his.

In present day, Emma‘s husband gets a promotion that requires the family to pack up and move, but before Emma can leave she has to dig up Luke‘s body and make sure he can never be found. Too bad she can't find him.

I happened across this book at my local library and I‘m so glad I picked it up! It was an edge of your seat thriller and kept me wanting to read more! This is the first book I have read by Caroline Mitchell and I will definitely be reading more of her novels. This is a must read for thriller lovers!

Got all my ebooks downloaded in preparation for airplane mode! 🌎🛫📖📱📖🛬🌎

Just started this today and I'm Hoping It'll be a good read📚

A fabulous tale of deception and intrigue with some twists I saw coming and some I didn‘t. At first the constantly jumping timelines annoyed me but I soon settled in and adapted easily. Not the most suspenseful book I have read but certainly not predictable.

It was‘t exactly a mind-blowing ending but I was captivated enough to stay awake all night to finish listening so I definitely enjoyed it ☺️ My next dilemma is whether I go to sleep at 4:30am or just stay up. 📖👀⏰

Just started this on my way home from work.

Down to the line... grabbed this as my #kindlefirstreads ! What choice did everyone make?

This book started out pretty good, but about 30% of the way in it took a sharp turn. I found myself becoming upset at the characters and unable to believe the situations they were going through. Mitchell's writing style is disappointing, and honestly I found sexist undertones against women throughout most of the story which I found surprising.

Also, if your triggers are sexual assault and child predators, I'd stay far far away from this one.

I chose this as my Kindle First for February and just finished it. The story didn‘t ‘wow‘ me, but kept my interest. It‘s a quick read and I‘d still recommend it.

What did you guys choose as your Feb #AmazonFirstRead? I chose this one and have been reading it in little bits in the morning. It's pretty good so far!

I just could not get into this book. I persevered until the husband starting doubting her. It was just too far fetched and I really didn't care what happened to the characters. Too bad I wasted my Kindle First pick on this.

Emma‘s darkest secrets are buried in the past. But the truth can‘t stay hidden for long. Emma is a loving wife, a devoted mother…and an involuntary killer. For years she‘s been hiding the dead body of the teacher who seduced her as a teen. When she returns to find an empty grave, she decides to confess to her husband, but this is only the beginning. This “Gone Girl-esque” thriller is very suspenseful. #TBR #KindleFirst #ReadingResolutions #Silent
