My review
You may be certain that what happened in the past, will stay in the past and that you can sleep peacefully and enjoy your sweet dreams. But sometimes it can turn into your worst nightmare …
During the whole book I kept thinking : aha, now I know who did it! Every time there was that little hint that put doubt in my mind once more and made me change direction. How I love that!
I constantly had the feeling that nobody could be trusted. The story contained some kind of current that pushed me forward and only let me go ashore when everything was revealed.
I have no idea how long my list of good authors is, but after reading this book, it became a bit longer, once again. 5 stars.
Thank you, Chris Merritt, Bookouture and Netgalley.
