Utterly brilliant.
From start to finish, as always, I was totally gripped and read in one sitting.
I will never get bored with Hall's books. She's a fabulous writer.
Loved it and will be recommending it to the whole world!
Omg......... this book was amazing I flew threw the pages with Olympic speed I was hooked from the very first page. I found it full of twists and turns threw out and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way threw I would defiantly recommend this book if you like a good book to keep you reading threw the night hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did
Not quite as good as Lisa Hall's previous book but still worth reading
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.
I read this along time ago, when i started delving into thrillers. I was drawn to request this, because really - it gives absolutely nothing away with the synopsis. It is so vague that i immediately wanted to know every single thing about this family.
Steph, Mark and their young son Henry have just moved house ready to start again with Steph pregnant again and still on uneven ground after Mark had an affair, it was always meant to be a new chance for the family to start again.
Of course, it was never going to be that smooth sailing was it? When dead flowers start turning up at the house, things of Stephs are going missing and she feels as if she is slowly loosing the plot after suffereing post natal depression after the birth of Henry she really is worried. With new friends surrounding Steph to help her out, its another case of trust no one.
Lisa Hall has created a wonderfully creepy book that leaves the reader really unsure of what is actually happening, it makes us question what everyones motive is, but most of all it made me suffer with Steph. This book was brilliant, until the End - i felt it never finished - i didnt get my answers! I remember at the time i read it feeling incrediably frustrated, but maybe thats the point - it was nail biting right until the last page.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Carina UK for giving me the opportunity to read this which I voluntarily reviewed.
I read "Between You and Me" last year which I really enjoyed. I was therefore very pleased to be accepted to read Ms Hall's latest novel.
I was gripped by the first few pages and spent a lot of time trying to second guess the author and work out what was going to happen next.
Due to the twists and turns I was completely wrong each time.
As for the ending! There is no way in a month of Sundays that I would have predicted that.
I hope Ms Hall writes a follow-up as I'd love to learn more about the characters.
