 had such high hopes for this book. I beyond loved Stranded and thought I would love this one as well. The book beings well enough and then I just started losing interest. I pushed myself to finish the book as I felt that it would go back to being more enjoyable for me. Sadly, it never did.

The gist is that as a child, Lucy was the sole survivor of a horrific fire. Now twenty years later, she is a married woman with a baby on the way. The past doesn’t want to remain in the past. The past sometimes comes back with a vengeance.

Goodwin proved she can write and tell a story. This just wasn’t the story for me. I did not connect with Lucy, nor did I connect with the story. Plus, the whole cult thing is getting old to me. I wondered was it that I came into this book with such high expectations after loving Stranded?

Even though I did not love this book, I will read books by her in the future. Not all of them can be winners.

Others enjoyed this more than I did, so please read their reviews.

Thank you to Avon Books UK 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.
