Reviews

This book offers a captivating psychological exploration that grips from the outset. Its intricate character development draws readers deep into their complex psyches, making it difficult to set aside. The narrative's intensity keeps you invested, navigating the characters' emotional landscapes with compelling depth.

This book was very fast-paced. I figured out one of the plot twists first, but the other ones I didn't guess. I'm glad with how the book ended.

Me atrapó, muy interesante

Ja das Ende war eher so 08/15, aber dieses Buch hat mich bis zum Schluss unterhalten und nicht einmal habe ich mich gelangweilt. Die ganze Zeit habe ich mich gefragt wie diese beiden Erzählstränge zueinander finden und als es soweit war, war ich nur noch gespannter wie es weitergeht. Das Hörbuch war klasse und die Erzählerin hat großartige Arbeit geleistet. Ich war gespannt, es war nicht komplett an den Haaren herbeigezogen und ich habe festgestellt, dass ich diese Art der Geschichte mag. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass das Abu h eher kurz war und einige Punkte nicht wirklich ausgeführt wurden, was in den meisten Fällen aber eher zum Rätseln beigetragen hat als dass es mir unnötig Informationen vorenthalten hat, „um bloß nicht das Ende zu erraten“

The last 100 pages or so get so intense! I really enjoyed this start to finish and liked how everything wrapped up, there were a few moments I had to to suspend my disbelief but it didn't ruin the overall story for me. I enjoyed each of the povs and watching their stories develop.

I really really enjoyed this book!! I think for me I was really struggling to line up the two storylines together at the beginning, and felt as though I was reading two separate books, but about half way through the book the two points of view we were getting started to make sense and fit together. I did enjoy both pov’s that we were getting. They were both very difficult from eachother and had their own conflicts whoch made them each very strong by themselves. I will say though, I did enjoy the book more when the two timelines collided!! As for the characters, I really liked them! I think they were all strong characters and I enjoyed reading about each of them the same! Overall, I really liked this book! I definitely wouldn’t say it was a strong thriller, but the storyline was interesting nonetheless!!

Three stars mostly because the ending was super disappointing

Short summary: Three sisters are being raised off the grid - they never go beyond their cabin, or leave the woods they’re raised in. One day their mother leaves to a nearby town with their younger sister because the younger sister needs medical help. But their mother doesnt come back for months, they’re running out of food, and so they have no choice but to venture out into the town as well. Once they leave their cabin, they uncover secrets and realize their mother has been lying to them all along. I read this because it was free with my temporary Kindle Unlimited subscription. I tend to read some reviews first just to get a general idea of how others think and feel, so I know if I’m getting into something decent. One review read: “The final reveal was so beyond absurd my eyes rolled back into my head leaving me unable to read the final pages.” I read it anyway, with this in mind. As I read, I felt a convoluted and ridiculous reveal coming. Somehow, though, the actual reveal was 1000x more ridiculous than ever imagined, and it came completely out of left field. The reason why it was so bad is because 1. The scenario itself is so preposterous, so it seems fake and 2. The foreshadowing is extremely scant. I won’t recommend against this book. It actually had a lot of positives: the characters were endearing, the author really knows how to build and heighten tension throughout, and it is a heartwarming story at the end of the day. All I’ll say is, if I paid money for this and discovered it ended this way, I’d be frustrated.

** spoiler alert ** Naciągany happy end, ale bardzo dobrze się czyta.

I enjoyed this book a lot - compelling, fast paced. An interesting and suspenseful read. Recommended to those who enjoy family drama as well as thrillers.

Giving it three stars only because the end made me tear up a bit.. otherwise it's a two.
