A very good and different book by Danielle Steel. A disturbing and dark read of someone with Munchausen by proxy illness. I would definitely recommend. Thank you netgalley for letting me give an honest review of this book.

The Dark Side is a chilling read. Zoe was a happy little girl before her younger sister died from cancer. Her parents became absorbed in their own loss and ignored her. Zoe was the perfect child but no one noticed and she became vitally warped, but the symptoms were masked for years. Eventually Zoe begins her own family and her husband notices how much his wife has changed. Zoe is off her rocker, being overly protective, neurotic, and paranoid. Her young daughter has more mishaps than adults. Until someone notices and then the ugly truth is revealed. Zoe is a truly reprehensible character. This was Steel's usual comfortable read. It's menacing, and uncomfortable.

The Dark Side is an intense book, but a good read. While I figured out the plot line early on, I still really enjoy this novel.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC to read and review!

Wow! What a book ! So many ups and downs made this a page turner. It was dark, but enjoyable. I will recommend this book to any patron.

After the first couple of chapters I knew what was going to happen in this book. Interesting look into the Munchausen by proxy illness.
