I must say this is a fast paced, engaging thriller! The premise hooked me. Usually a little backstory is nice before we get pushed off the cliff as readers, but this dove right in which was meh for me. Unreliable narrators with a psychological suspense. Can you trust the narrators? The atmosphere of this book was creepy and I enjoyed that! I think for me at times, I got confused with the amount of characters and the pace of the plot. It seemed rushed at times and then it would immediately slow. Overall, a decent read!

I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. So many twists and turns throughout and I kept flipping through to see what would happen next. I devoured this book and it was so hard to put down, I couldn't stop reading. I highly recommend this book!

This is one twisty psychological thriller. So glad I read it!
Many thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have to say that after seeing this book hyped on TikTok and Instagram, I was excited to read it. I loved the setting with the cottage in the country, but that was about it. For some reason, I just couldn't stand any of the characters. The story and what was happening just made me so mad that I found myself starting to skim through the book. I know that I am in the minority with not enjoying this one, but it just wasn't for me.

AMAZING! This book is skillfully written and one that you don't want to miss. It immediately had my attention and kept it. I enjoyed everything about it. The mystery kept me turning the pages and engaged. The characters are relatable and the plot mysterious and believable . A great thriller.

So this definitely hooked me from the start. Really suspenseful and dark. Definitely should come with a trigger warning. If you have lost a child, pregnancy didn’t come easy for you or anything in that realm, proceed with caution. I didn’t love the last 15% of the book and it went in a totally different direction than I was anticipating. Still suspenseful, and definitely couldn’t put it down.

This was a great spooky season read. I enjoyed the story and it was a fast paced book. I would recommend this

A twisty plot and a page turner, I enjoyed this book a lot! I hadn't read anything by this author before and now I definitely want to go back and read his other books. A great read!

Wow this book turned out to be so much more than I thought. This is a deep psychological thriller that immediately sucks you in to the characters and what they are going through. In fact, that was one of my favorite aspects of this story. Learning about the characters and their motiviations. Robin is such a fantastic writer, her descriptions of the characters and what they were going though made them feel like friends. You felt for them, you hurt when they hurt (or atleast I did) and you want to slap when they take those inevitable stupid choices in life. This is one of those stories where you know something is off with one of the couples but you aren't sure which one. It will keep you turning the pages and wanting more. I cant wait to read more by this author!

This book kept me guessing! I loved the suspenseful atmosphere and I didn't want to put the book down. This was definitely 4.5 stars for me. I also appreciated the disability representation! I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

A great read by this author. I definitely recommend checking this one out!
Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The setting of this book gives all the spooky vibes and is probably my favorite part of this read!

Our main characters are Jamie and Victoria who are expecting their first child and have decided to go on a last vacation before babys arrival to a remote bed and breakfast. Keep in mind - this place is super remote! There is nothing for miles and even the closest town is teeny, and there is no one else staying at this air bnb aside from the owners, Fiona and Barry. When they wake up the first morning, they're left their alone. The owners are gone, and all the windows and doors are locked from the outside. On top of this, their cell phones and car keys are missing (YIKES!). Victoria goes into labour - and they cannot get out of the house.

The story flips back and forth between her labour in the bed and breakfast and them at home a few months later, unfortunately without their son.

I read this book in a single afternoon - SO deliciously binge worthy. The more I've sat with this one - the more I liked it! The part of the book, the characters choices are definitely infuriating because I couldn't understand why they were making the decisions that they were, but I promise the ending and twists sum it up perfectly!

This was a good psychological thriller! I loved the twists throughout. It was a good locked room mystery. I didn’t expect some of the twists. Overall, definitely an enjoyable thriller to read!

A creepy and fast paced thriller. I loved the plot for this story and don't think the ending will ever leave me. Such a creepy one that I will be recommending to many of my friends! I look forward to the rest of his work!!

Loved the creepy vibes with this one. It was a quick read and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

As a mother of young children, the panic and feeling of being a soon to be mom hits home! This was a page turner, a twist I didn't expect and a different plot then I expected thing to turn into!

A unique thriller that will keep readers poring over the pages long into the night.

I would give this 3 stars, just because some things didn’t totally make sense, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the read.

One of the most tense winter thrillers ive read in a while. Thank you to Posioned Press for the advanced copy

Although this story occasionally lapses into implausibility, it's all part of the fun, and I'm giving it four stars for keeping me reading late into the night. Starting out normally enough, a married couple travel to a B&B for a quick respite a few weeks before the birth of their baby. What happens when they get there quickly progresses into a seemingly preposterous situation. As with any well-written psychological thriller, you can bet that twists or turns are going to be good ones -- and they are. Recommended!

Thank you, NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press/Sourcebooks, Inc. for the Advanced Reading Copy.

So. This book was going along okay, though every single character is immensely unlikeable. Thought we had a decent plot line going- and then the BIG twist happened. And things started not making alot of sense lol. Such a strange book.
