four-stars

Carrie, a senior Nurse, is suspended from her job after being suspected of a crime, lives with her younger sister, Alexa. Alexa does not believe the charges against her sister, while Alexa’s husband, Perry, no longer trusts Carrie to watch their one-year-old daughter, Florence. This makes for a tense situation as he wants her out of their home and to no longer care for their child. Then Florence is injured while in Carrie’s care and Alexa begins to have doubts.

This book is told through the POV of a couple of characters which helps to move the story along. I found this slow to start in the beginning, but as the story progressed, things picked up as I began to wonder, have doubts, and attempted to solve the cause of the crimes which took place in the hospital. Can Carrie be trusted? Is she Guilty? Is Alexa right to believe her sister? If Carrie isn’t guilty, then who is?

This book had an interesting twist/reveal at the end which I did not see coming. This was another solid book by K.L. Slater. I can’t say it was my favorite by this author, but it was still enjoyable.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
