FIVE FREAKING STARS
Holy shit that was good!!!! This isn't my normal type of read, but I'm so thankful for this community because I would never have heard about it otherwise and I LOVED IT. Honestly, I thought this was in the ballpark of Gone Girl (the book I compare all other psych thrillers to and they NEVER come close). There were so many WTF's while reading this. I honestly couldn't wait to get back to this twisted ride because it was so fun to read.
If you're reading this, you've seen the countless other reviews and summaries that are much better than mine, but what I will say is that I am not a CoHo (can I call her that?!) super fan (I've only read one other book by her (and that was a few weeks ago)), but this was a home run. Where can I get another book like this? When is she writing another thriller? I'm serious - I need to fill this void NOW.
Was there a little too much sex? Maybe, but I'm okay with it in this instance. Some of the content that was deeply disturbing I had enough warning about (all the previous WTF's, etc.) so that helped me get into the right headspace. If I hadn't had any warning it would definitely have been more off-putting. I loved how I couldn't guess what was going to happen and that the ambiguous end left a lot to the imagination. It almost makes it creepier???
My only slight criticism is that the end was a little too quick. There were 290+ pages of buildup and suspense and then - boom- it was over.
CoHo - I am HERE for another venture into this genre. I hope you're working on it now! Also - NETFLIX GET ON THIS.

Terrific review, Michelle! I read this one at the start of 2019 and was blown away!! I hope she dabbles more into this genre too because she does it so well 😊

I have been taking a serious look at this one and hoping my library takes the plunge and acquires it. Terrific review, Michelle!

I was surprised - originally my library only bought 1 copy for 15 libraries, but now they have 6. My husband told a co-worker of his that I raved about this book (and I would not have recommended it to her because this book isn't for everyone) and she HATED it. She must think I'm super weird and creepy now. LOL Oh well!
Great review, Michelle! I just finished this one, and really enjoyed it too. It was so twisty and dark! I hope CoHo writes more thrillers. :)

I haven’t read anything by CoHo but the reviews for this one (including yours), have me intrigued! Great review, Michelle, glad you enjoyed it! :)

I tried one of her other books first because I wanted to have something to compare it to. Her normal fiction was pretty good, but I enjoyed her entry into the psych thriller genre much more! I hope you decide to give it a try!
Great review, I've been looking for a good thriller and you've convinced me to take a long, hard look at this one.
