"New mom Palmer starts seeing the cracks in her young marriage when she returns to work and her husband becomes a stay at home dad.

Modglin is such a queen of modern day thrillers. Her stories are always filled with so many twists you don't see coming. This one is no exception. I loved how this story played out. I was sitting on the edge of my seat and looking for time to listen to it. The audio was fantastic! I def recommend it!

"This is crazy! This is disturbing! This is really scary!
I want to put it in the freezer! I want to hide myself in the closet and count to 5 million to get rid of the damage the book gave me. I’m going to chuck it because I’m a chicken and deserved to be fried and served at fancy Soul Food places (I’m a coward but still a five-star fancy coward!)

I’m giving it four stars and praying loudly (already I organized my own congregation circling me because of my usage of so many holy words) that the spirits of Ada and her father won’t follow and curse me as a punishment for cutting one of their stars.

This creepy as hell book will give you nightmares, will make you forget your own name so you gotta read “Call me by your name�� to recover, okay it was so bad but I’m really shaking in terror and losing my ability to write something simple and funny.

BEWARE YOUR CHILDREN from this book by positioning it at the top of your bookshelves (Don’t put it in the freezer like me! This will be their first place to check.) Stop screaming, stop crying, be a mature human and deal with your feelings responsibly and please don’t read them in public places not to be shunned because of your uncontrollable reactions. Didn’t I say: stop crying! Oh, that’s me. Okay, I should stop it and resume writing my review.

PLOT AND CHARACTERS:
So: Ada and her father are healers who help their local people with very un-Grey’s Anatomy’s doctors�� methods which are literally cracking open the damaged bodies like random damaged goods, temporarily burying them in some kind of eerie, mega spooky and dangerous ground. Oh, stop screaming! ( That’s not me, this time. My husband read my words on the computer and gave this childish reaction! What a momma’s boy!)
But one day, Ada heals one of the village people named Samson (Ada and her father called them “cure�� which is also my 80’s favorite band and it is not relevant so I’m zipping my mouth right now!)and they start a romantic affair. As you may see, the father of the probable bride is not happy about this progress. You may sense that after Ada’s romantic involvement, all the hell breaks loose and nothing will be the same forever. I’m not going to say anything because I’m still trembling and afraid of moving for at least five hours. I wish somebody could carry me to my bed and I hide myself under my duvet!

OVERALL:
This is an unconventional, stunning, shocking, different, original work. I’m so happy to read this rarely talented author’s works and I’m so excited to read her upcoming books.
