Maeve and her cousin, Andrea were raised by a group of women, “Mothers” on a commune. That is until one night when Maeve flees the commune with BOY. Leaving both the commune and Andrea behind. But Maeve and Andrea find each other again after being matched by a DNA website. Maeve is an editor who keeps others at arm’s length. Andrea is a successful woman working in the technology and fertility industry.
They soon reconnect and Maeve finds herself immersed in her cousin’s life and when Andrea asks a question of her, Maeve is unsettled. When memories begin bubbling to the surface, she must face that the past might not be as terrorizing as her present.
I did feel that insta love with this book that others found. I found it to be an okay read from beginning to end. I often wondered if I was reading the same book that others had read. We can’t love them all, and this was the case with this book. I listened to the audiobook and had a copy of the book on kindle so I could dive in to either when I wanted.
I would put this in my good not great pile. Enjoyable but left me wanting more. The creepy factor fell short for me. This book is in the horror genre but is more horrifying than it is pure horror. There are some dark spots but none are really terrorizing (at least for me).
Thank you to Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Tor Nightfire and NetGalley and Macmillan Audio who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
