Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Rea Frey. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Isabelle is back home where all her trauma happened, cleaning out her mother's house after her death. Now a journalist, Isabelle wants an answer to the story that haunts her - her three foster siblings died tragically in a fire when she was 13. There were so many questions circling around her mother's responsibility, even though the blaze was considered accidental. When her mother's autopsy report comes back, Isabelle is more determined than ever to find answers.
I’m a big fan of Rea Frey’s books and this one kept me glued to the pages. Told from multiple points of view and two timelines, the best part is how the suspense and tension was palpable through the entire book – I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. The characters were portrayed realistically, and I felt so anxious for them. The creepy woods just added another layer of suspense. Besides being a mystery on many levels, it was also a look into motherhood, even though we never meet one of the mothers. And that ending? Mind blown. Sequel please!!
