This book has an interesting premise but overall it was quite a slow paced read. I felt that the depictions of trauma, mental health and repressed memories were unrealistic, and the plot didn’t feel very believable.

Wow! This was another great read by Cole Baxter! Super dark and creepy with fabulous characters. So many crazy twists and turns that never let up. Stayed up way past my bedtime flipping pages.
Thank you NetGalley and Cole Baxter for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book is both eerie and sad. You are wondering who James really is? Is he hallucinating or are these things actually happening? Is someone messing with him? Do you like his sister Janet? Or does she have the wrong intentions.. So many questions to be answered. It will surely keep you guessing and when you think you’ve got it all figured do you?it was a page turner for sure and at the end i couldn’t step away! Thanks for the opportunity to read this book !

I really enjoyed many pieces of this book- I just wish I had more detail instead of feeling like it was more surface level. Why do we only get one or two journal excerpts? Does Nick ever come by the house to spend time with James, or is that not relevant? I loved the twist at the end- the last 50 pages really had me going back and forth between Janet and Brianna being the ‘bad guy’. Overall I would say this is a 3.5 star read.

Super interesting read, what I like is that this thriller touches on current social issues including mental health.
