I have read all of Lucinda Berry’s books they are all real page turners.
This is a great story line about two orphans that become as close as real sisters & look after each other. Nichole & Krystal stick together through thick & thin but disaster strikes when they are at a home with a horrible foster mum & her daughter & this childhood tragedy becomes their secret. But life has a way of catching up with them & their demon & who can expect the twist at the end.......which I found riveting! Please release another book soon these have helped me escape during lockdown & have been a life saver!

I love to read so for a book to really grab me by the throat it has to be exceptional. This is one of those books. The characters had amazing depth and the storyline well written. The author did not shy away in her handling of a variety of difficult subjects - foster care, emotional abuse, psychological trauma, and marital infidelities.

Krystal and Nichole were in foster care together since they were little. They have a tie and bond closer than many biological siblings. The protect each other and keep each other's secrets. Even really big secrets, until one secret goes against right and wrong.

I received an arc of this book and voluntarily provided a review.

How can one book be a slow burn but also a fast paced, need to know what happens next, mind boggling thrill ride all in one? This book scratched every itch I had, answered the questions I yearned to learn the answer to and gave me a big shocker at the end that I NEVER saw coming. From the first book (The Perfect Child) I ever read by Lucinda Berry, I was completely hooked. No, I was obsessed. Being a Psych major, Lucinda’s background helps her writing tap into that part of my brain that is curious as to why people behave how they do, what makes them tick and most importantly, how their childhood affects their behavior as adults. I have read every book that Lucinda has written and this one is by far my favorite. I would give it 100/10 if I could! Perfectly written and one will have a book hangover for a while from. Every single word had me gasping for more! Phenomenal.
