Burlington

BURLINGTON is completely unputdownable. I read it in one sitting. Mae was the perfect main character you can’t help but root for with her lovely, down to earth family. I felt like the sense of wanting to fit in in a new town and how far you would or wouldn’t go to do so was so raw and real.

The town of Burlington reminded me of Stepford Wives/Desperate Housewives esque with a small town, lots perfect women, dark, dangerous secrets…and dash of Gone Girl.

Burlington is easily one of my favorite reads of the year. If you’re at all on the fence about buying/reading it, DO IT. Heather Dixon is such a talent.

"Burlington" by Heather Dixon is a thrilling and captivating read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The author's writing style is top-notch, with a well-paced plot that's full of tension, suspense, and suspicion. From the very beginning, readers will find themselves theorizing and trying to solve the mystery alongside the main character.

Oh. My. Goodness.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, a huge thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc. I truly loved this book and had a great time reading it. In this whirlwind of a story, we see through the eyes and mind of Mae Roberts, a mom that has just touched down in the neighborhood of Burlington with her family. The school and town are kept in check by a group of rather spirited moms… moms that don’t bat an eyelash when one seems to go missing.

If you like domestic thrillers, neighborhood dramas, mom-cliques, and twists in your reads, I’d definitely recommend this. Loved it.

What a wonderful read! The writing of Dixon is outstanding. This novel has a good pace and is filled with tension, suspense, and mistrust. I started speculating immediately away. It tells the tale of the extent individuals would go to in order to maintain their position of power or, at the very least, their façade of power. Oh my gosh, I was captivated into this book! When a tale does that, I adore it. In a Vermont environment, Dixon did an excellent job of developing compelling characters. There was mystery, but there was also a lot about being a new parent in a strange area and how hard it can be to meet people.

Burlington is an absolute delight to read! The twists and turns throw you off the scent until the last few pages …,

I will definitely be on the look out for more books by Heather

I would give this 10 starts if I could!

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

Oh my goodness, this book sucked me in! I love when a story does that. Dixon did a fantastic job creating interesting characters in a setting in Vermont. There was mystery but much more about being a new mom in a new town and how it can be super difficult to make friends. I enjoyed this a lot! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars!

Amazing book!!! If you love a good thriller/mystery this one is one to read. It was engaging from the first page and kept it up till the end. Perfectly done.
