Welcome to Litsy!

The story was slow and the twist was exceptionally easy to figure out. I expected a thriller but it was a pure murder mystery with no thrill and wasn‘t even much of a mystery.

Up late with my reading buddy 🥰

This book had SOME FLAWS! Character storylines never dealt with; characters introduced near the end as if they were important... and then never dealt with. But it was an interesting look at guilt and a town trying to survive after a tragedy. Most characters are unlikeable, and I think that‘s the point as suspicion shifts from one character to the next until it lands on the culprit. Was it a big reveal? No. Still somewhat enjoyable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

just pass on this.
Half way thru and my sum up was "omg what is the point and why aren't we there yet? where is the urgency? Who cares about these characters?"
This whole book is a little threat. The premise sounded great and it could have made for a creepy thriller or an awesome melodrama, but it fell flat in all ways.
Also I'm pretty sure author is obsessed with grunge era and just wanted to show off music knowledge in first half of book.

Book 1 of 2021

I was excited about the premise, but overall, it fell flat for me. Kennedy and Carter are twins whose best friend was murdered in the woods as a teenager. Ultimately, Kennedy is convicted of the crime. 16 years later, she's released from prison and begins to uncover forgotten details of that night. While the plot was enjoyable, I found the writing to be a bit clunky, with some of the dialogues or POVs a bit difficult to follow. ⭐⭐⭐

3.75 stars. Loved the cover! It‘s what led me to pick it up in Barnes & Noble. I enjoyed getting to know the characters of the Wynn family, especially Kennedy and Carter. I enjoyed the format of the book & it keeps you turning the pages. I would‘ve appreciated more explanation or showing at times, but ended up being satisfied with the ending. I‘ll read the next book by her. Would say more but don‘t want to reveal too much! It‘s a good read!
