As satisfyingly intriguing and page-turning as you could possibly want. An emotional read - the end is a shocker!

A heart-rending evocation of grief that packs a devious punch. It left me reeling.

A beautifully written psychological suspense about the power of love after a life-changing loss. A sense of impending doom and foreboding gripped me from the first page as I struggled with Tess to make sense of her new life. Lauren North brilliantly portrays Tess's fear, panic, and confusion, making me root for her throughout. The ending is stunning and powerful.

A captivating, suspenseful thriller that draws you in - with a twist that will take your breath away.

Expertly executed characters who broke my heart and shocks that had me double checking I'd locked the doors, with one of those jaw-on-the-floor twists. What a book!
