WOWZA! Give me a second while I recover from whiplash! What a twist filled, shocking, dramatic, and phenomenal book! Just when I thought I had this book all figured out, Katie Garner threw in another jaw dropping revelation which left me reeling!
Iris Blodget just can’t seem to catch a break. After her husband was murdered three years ago, she and their daughter, Ellory, are left drowning in grief and debt. After losing not only her job but her home, Iris accepts an offer from her new boyfriend, Hugh, to come live with him in Ravencliff, his mother’s crumbling mansion which he is renovating. There she will meet the family members Hugh never mentioned having and learn that secrets run deep in Hugh’s family….
Holy Moly! This book was off the hook! I loved the pacing, the shocks, the revelations, the dread, the tension and don’t get me started on the atmosphere. The home itself was a silent/not so silent character as well with its creaking floors, eerie rooms, and desperate need for repairs. Ravencliff is creepy and do not get me started on Hugh’s family!
There was a lot going on in this book, but it never felt boggled down; instead, it made for a pulse pounding page turner! Katie Garner pulled the wool over my eyes, not once, not twice, but many times during this book! I fully invested and hung on for dear life during this wild ride of a book!
Gripping, shocking, well thought out, wonderfully written, and hard to put down!
