"This was ok at best. Husband was completely gullible and unlikable. 2 out of 5 "

"Good book until the end. Wrapped up way too quickly and neatly in a way where you really need to suspend your belief."
Nona Lisa
"This book is like Dexter and Gone Girl had a kid. I never wanted to put this book down. It's gripping, dark, and fascinating. "

"I had high expectations, unfortunately just wasn’t for me. I expected some amazing big twist, it wasn’t that great."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a strange little family dynamic. It wasn’t very surprising but still I really enjoyed this and the ending was exactly as it should be."

"I found this book very intriguing. Despite the characters doing their thing, I was rooting for them. I was able to figure out a twist pretty early on, but it didn’t take away from enjoying how everything played out. The story was well written, and each chapter ended in a way that made it hard to put the book down. "

"This was a very entertaining and wild ride. Just within the first few chapters I was hooked. And so many twist and turns at one point I was blaming the kids for stuff. Come on all kids look suspicious.<br/><br/>I thought David Pittu had a nice narrating voice but every woman other than the wife sounded stuck up and bitchy. It wasn't very flattering. The couples relationship was eerie and strange like they understood one another completely. Kind of like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Also interesting fact: the husband's name???<br/><br/>The kill scenes and most of the details were excluded which was disappointing. I didn't really think too much about it while reading but the husband was never involved in much of the decision making for anything. Just floated around like an idiot. So I found myself yelling at him and pulling at my hair in frustration.<br/><br/>I had so many theories for this. And while a few of the came true still I was shocked. The wife had a sinister feel which made the story. Without knowing everyone respected and followed her orders. The ending was well done but maybe came together a little too easy."

"So dark and twisty!!! I couldn’t put it down, but am going to take a break from this genre for awhile. "
Melanie Schmitz
"This was good, a little slow but still good. The ending is worth the read because to me it’s somewhat of a twist and satisfying. "
