Review of advance copy
The premise of the book sounded interesting. Sarah was attacked a few months ago and is still dealing with the aftermath. Her husband is trying his best to adapt to the situation and be by her side as she copes with PTSD and its impact on her life.
When he suggests taking her on a weekend trip to a getaway property they bought, it seems like a good idea to spend some time away. However, the journey there already foreshadows that it might have been a very bad idea.
Hmm, I don't know exactly how I feel about it. It wasn't bad, but it also didn’t grab my attention in the way I had hoped. The chapters, with their timestamps and everything happening between Friday evening and midnight, made the timeline feel very compressed.
We had to:
- learn about Sarah’s past and her trauma
- follow the cases of women going missing who had a connection to her husband
- see the stress of his job and the challenges he faces at work
- and experience all of this during the journey to the cabin
I felt overwhelmed - not in a way that made the story hard to follow - but in a way that made it feel too cramped for me to connect with it. I also felt more annoyed with the couple than invested in finding out what was really going on. Halfway through, I even debated whether I wanted to finish the book.
Maybe it’s the writing style or the way the story is presented, but it felt like an okay book to me—nothing more, nothing less. And sometimes that is perfectly fine.

This atmospheric thriller was suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. The cliff-hanger chapter endings kept me reading, trying to connect the dots and solve the countless mysteries that propelled the engaging plot. The story is fast-paced and unpredictable. The conclusion was both shocking and satisfying. Thank you, Booksprout, for my ARC.

It was okay. I mean, I did love the premise - would not have picked the book up otherwise - but I feel at this point, the author might just not be for me, seeing I did already struggle with Keep Her Close. 3 stars from me.

Scary good story, with many different suspects. Very well written.
The writer can definitely draw you in to the story and actually bring the characters alive. The anxiety and fear is palpable. The last twenty pages will definitely get your heart rate up.
