ich didn't necessarily fall flat but didn't have the impact I was waiting for. There was a twist don't misunderstand me but it was maybe too drawn out that it didn't knock my socks off.

I always enjoy when a story can put that small nagging at the back of my mind that something was off. The writing style was easy to keep up with and enjoyable as well. All around a good book I was a little disappointed because it was so close to being great.30:T469,The first third or so of this book was really confusing as it flips back and forth between 3 different POV’s, along with past and present time jumps. Lucy & Libby are told from a third person POV, but Henry’s is told from a first person POV. I enjoyed the writing style of this author & the idea, I just didn’t care for the execution of the story.

The characters were interesting just enough to keep me reading & invested in the suspense of it all despite the confusion.

Libby receives a letter informing her that she’s inherited a mansion in London. She learns that her biological parents & a strange man were found dead in the home that she’s just inherited.

As the 3 different POV’s tell their sides of the story, the mystery behind the death of Libby’s parents begins to unravel. It reveals something more sinister than what was originally believed by investigators.

There were several things that were left open and unanswered in the end, but I’m guessing that’s why there is a second book. So of course I have to see who bought the mansion and what happened to Finn…31:T4f1,Thanks to Libro.fm, Simon & Schuster Audio, and Atria Books for letting me listen and review this book.
This book was like a Lifetime movie in book form. It had a lot of twists, turns, suspense and was creepy and disturbing in parts, which reminded me of Lifetime movies and maybe a bit of V.C. Andrews type books.
The audio was great, these narrators really added to it when they brought the story to life with this audiobook version. If you
