Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin/Mira Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this twisty tale by Amber Garza - 4 stars!
Valerie lives by herself in a big Victorian mansion that she is sure is also occupied by a ghost child. She has a fragile relationship with both of her children, Kendra and Hudson, but when she starts having memory issues, Hudson moves home. It's not quite the perfect reconciliation because Hudson is secretive, moody, and rarely home. When a young woman is found dead nearby, Hudson's past comes into play and he's the first person suspected to be responsible. But a mother would know, right?
I thought this was a really good read and one that had enough twists that you won't see coming. It's an intriguing look into motherhood, the impact our choices make on our children, and how we view them and their actions. Told basically from Valerie's view, there are some glimpses into the past from another character that kind of took some time to figure out the switch, but were quite illuminating once things became more clear. The final twist at the end was unexpected!
