It started out slow, didn’t really love the inner monologue from the 2 main characters but as it read on, it got kinda better. I couldn’t put it down, wanting to figure out what’s gonna happen next. Overall it’s an interesting read albeit a little predictable

The dual perspectives are very well done in this book, which is no mean feat when seeking to realistically present a teenage girl and her father. The pace picks up towards the end of the book as the depths of the horror are revealed. It is all the more troubling because it could so easily be non-fiction.

I am so happy and proud to say that I received this book from NetGalley as an ARC reader. As an ARC reader, I am given the honor of reading books before they are published and creating a review of the book gifted. Theo Baxter has been one of my favorite authors and every time I get to read one of his books, I am always excited! This book shows what can happen when a child leaves a terrible family, only to be sent to an even worse one. It is a story of tragedy and sadness. But it is so worth the read. An easy recommendation from me to you…you will love this new novel from Theo Baxter!

A chilling and emotional thriller that keeps you turning the pages. Lots of shocks and a great ending. A very good read!

Sam is taken from one awful family into an even worse one.
My word this book is so dark and tense but i couldn't put it down.
A proper thriller that left me with a racing heart.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

This is one family you don’t want to join. Things haven’t been easy for fifteen-year-old Sam Cotton. She’s just recovering from the death of her mother when her father Jesse has a mental breakdown. She’s taken out of his care and given to a foster family, the Bradfords. The Bradfords live in the middle of nowhere and seem like pious, God-fearing people. But Sam soon notices some disturbing things. The forbidden rooms. The strict rules. The cameras that track her every move! Great read! This book definitely has you thinking about a lot of different aspects of life! It had great suspense, intriguing, action, murder, mystery, child abuse, and some wild twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This is one of the first thrillers I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. The premise was intriguing and kept my interest. I was hooked!
