Fatal attraction comes to mind when I go to describe this book. Imagine finding out another person in your town has your exact same name with a small kid. You “stalk” this woman and kid until ... This grabbed me from the very first page and kept me glued to the very last page. Holy Cow what a psychological thriller this was!! Did not see the MANY twists coming throughout the book - what in the world??? I had guessed all wrong what was going to happen! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release in exchange for my honest review. Can’t wait to read more from this author. She sure has an imagination!!!!

This one for sure keeps you wondering what is going on.
Not totally Unputdownable for me but was a very solid read. Great coming together and twists. Pick this one up if you like thrillers that keep you guessing.


Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for an early release of this book.

This was an amazing psychological thriller. I read this book in a day and a half - I could not put it down. Such a great story and written differently than anything I have recently read. I look forward to reading more books by Amber Garza. Thank you for the advanced copy. I look forward to recommending this book.

Holy cow! I started this book yesterday and could not put it down! So well written, original, and absolutely realistic! It had me in chills, it gave me thrills, and flat exhausted today since I stayed up way too late to finish! The characters were so well fleshed out, I couldn’t help but understand the obsession you see build! Tense, chilling, shocking, and unputdownable is what Amber Garza created in this amazingly chilling story! Like something you can easily see happening in a day and age where computers complete most of our tasks or remind us, and one small glitch can create the absolute nightmare that pursues! I highly, highly recommend this amazing read! Don’t delay preorder today and clear the schedule for release, as I promise you’ll be glued to the pages until you finish!
Will make sure I buzz it up all around the platforms! I can’t wait for more by Garza, if this is a debut I can’t wait to see her veteran work, regardless if it is or isn’t, it’s not to be missed!!!

A solid psychological thriller with a twist I didn’t see coming. It wasn’t unputdownable, but I kept coming back to it. It would make a solid book club choice!

Kelly has been feeling lonely since her son started college. When her son’s doctor’s office call to confirm a check up for Kelly’s newborn, Kelly learns that there is another woman in town who shares her name. It’s not long before Kelly becomes obsessed with finding the woman who shares her name, the woman who still has a baby at home to care for and Kelly begins looking for her everywhere. When she finally meets the other Kelly, she tells herself the meeting is a coincidence and that it’s perfectly natural for the two of them to become friends. Until one of them goes missing…. How far will a mother go to protect a child? This is the second thriller I have read recently that doesn’t involve a male character as the “bad guy” and I love it. Women can be bad too!
