Two women, two timelines, what is their connection?
Alex has left an abusive relationship with two children in tow. They go to Pine Ridge, an eco-village to start over. It’s in a rural area and Alex believes that she and her children will be happy and safe there. There is belief, then there is reality.
Renee is married to a farmer named Michael. They are having problems with their son…
These two women don’t sound like they have anything in common, and yet….
This was a slow build, and I am not a slow build kinda gal, but this one grew on me. Initially I kept thinking when it this going to get going, is anything interesting going to happen? It does! Things begin to become creepy is this idyllic village. Slowly tension and dread begin to seep into the pages, and I had to keep going to see what the connection was and what was happening.
I had the privilege of being able to go back and forth between the e-book and audio book.
I found this to be creepy and captivating. Fans of Downes will not be disappointed. She is even one of the narrators of the audiobook.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
