Oh my goodness! This book was incredible! Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher, for giving me an advance reader copy. This is my honest review.
Caitlin and her older sister Olivia are left home alone one evening and Olivia is taken by a masked intruder. Sixteen years later she returns, or does she? Caitlin isn't sure if that is her sister and she also has seen the masked intruder around. She is terrified for her whole family and doesn't know where to turn.
This story is an amazingly complex psychological thriller. There are plenty of twists and turns, some wonderfully complicated characters and it will keep you guessing right to the end. If there is one book you should read this year, it's this one!

I saw someone say that it was hard to rate it and just writing their thoughts about it. However, it feels wrong NOT to rate it. Anyways, I gave it a 3.5 mostly because it became predictable (to me) about 65-70% of the way through the book. Which isn’t a bad thing, but I want my mind to be spinning by the end and questioning everything. I think it was a good, quick read, and kept me intrigued. I usually don’t like how much something is repeated throughout the book, however, describing Olivia’s eyes was SO GOOD and made such a beautiful image in my head of her character.
***SPOILERS BELOW***
I lowkey hate the ended because of how much they went through, that was a “twist” that surprised me and made me a bit sad lol. The other unexpected for me was Olivia and Oscar with his book. Towards the end of the book when they are in the woods, I did somewhat believe a few of the things she said about Oscar because it makes sense and adds to the winding plot. For me, the element that connected the dots was the way the unknown narrator described each male character and their distinct scent nearly every time they were mentioned. Which I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but I could tell where it was going.
