2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A riveting, dark debut psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, S.J. Watson, and Megan Abbott. When Sam Mayfair was sixteen, her life was shattered by an abuser close to her. News of her abuser's murder fifteen years later should have put an end to the torture she's endured because of one decision plaguing her life. But with her stepbrother Eric as the prime suspect, Sam is flung back into the hell of her rural Oklahoma childhood. As Sam tries to help exonerate Eric while hiding certain truths of their past from investigators, details of the murder unravel. And Sam quickly learns some people, including herself, will do anything to keep their secrets buried deep.

Heavy read. Although this book meets the literal definition of a thriller, I'm not sure that that's the way I would describe it. The story was engaging & I was drawn in quickly. Sam is reunited with her stepbrother & love interest at about the same time her stepfather's body turns up. In order to prove Eric is innocent of the crime, secrets from the past must be revealed.

FelinesAndFelonies Something off about the voice of Sam. I can't decide if it was intentional by the author or a side effect of our patriarchal society regularly engaging in victim blaming but it just didn't sit right with me. 3y
