Oh! What a clever, clever Author you are Liz Nugent!

So, the entire book, I am thinking "what gives? I mean, seriously what gives? I like the book, I think it is good, but what is with all the hoopla?" Then I got to the home stretch and the hoopla kicked it into high gear!

This was a fabulous twisted psychological thriller that doesn't disappoint. Nugent takes motherhood, unhealthy relationships, obsession, mental illness, secrets and murder to a whole new level in this book. The reader knows what happened in this book, but the beauty is in not knowing how things are going to end. I found the characters to be well developed and some characters were downright sinister and creepy - which I absolutely loved. I also enjoyed how the book was told through Lydia, Lawrence and Karen's POV's. This added a very nice touch and gave us more information as to their motivations, secrets, and thoughts.

My advice is to go in as blind as you can. One might think you know how the book is going to end but chances are Nugent will shock you. Again, very clever. Very well thought out. I thought this carefully crafted book had a dark and Gothic feel to it. The scenes that took place in Lydia's house felt very dreary and cold to me which also gave the book some atmosphere and added to the chill/sinister factor.

This is a great book for fans of Psychological thrillers. Plus, how about that cover?
