Sophia Weeks is awoken to awful news; her brother,Ben, has committed suicide and murdered his wife and daughter. Only if a story was that short, right? Knowing her brother, Sophia decides to move into Ben's home where the crimes were committed to write a book professing his innocence. But after she moves in, things begin to go bump in the night. Is it her imagination or is a killer on the loose? Thank you to NetGalley for this read!

I received a free copy. This is my review given freely.
I couldn't put this book down. It is very suspenseful and just keeps you guessing.
Having the dog was an added plus. I love a story that includes a pet. When reading about the dog you can picture it happening because it's told so real.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful story.

Final Goodbyes by Signe Christensen is a suspense crime drama about a young woman who loses her brother to a devastating crime. Awoken in the middle of the night, Sophie is told by the police that her brother and his family are dead. They believe that he murdered his wife and child and then killed himself. Sophie refuses to believe that this is what happened and is determined to uncover the truth or at least to show the world that her brother was not a murderer. The desire to pursue the truth drives a wedge between Sophie and her boyfriend Alan, but after the deaths, things have been tense between them and only get worse. Sophie, after hearing some horrific gossip at her job, quits and moves into her deceased brother's house. She's determined to get the police to investigate the murders and prove her brother's innocence. While living in the house, she starts hearing strange noises at night, and strange things begin happening. Who could it be that is "haunting" the house? Is it the killer or just nosy people? Sophie is determined to learn the truth but at what costs?
Final Goodbyes is the first book by Signe Christensen that I have read and overall I enjoyed reading this book. It's a page-turner that is full of suspense and engaging. Sophie is an interesting character and I feel for her quite often. She has known her brother all their lives and it's hard for her to believe he could do something so horrid. She sees how quickly people turn not just on him, but on her as well in light of this heinous act. I can't call Sophie a "strong female character" because she's not. She's a woman who picks and chooses her battles. There are moments of where she is soft and then others where she is hard. She comes off as a realistic character overall though there are moments of where she is highly irrational. I am glad that when it is necessary for her to stand her ground she does.
While I enjoyed reading this book, and it has a good amount of suspense this book is in dire need of an editor. This book does not look like it was proofread at all. There are misspelled words, spacing issues with words of where they run together, and places where the spacing is in the middle of the word breaking it apart. Most of these issues are simple, fixable and easily spotted if one takes the time to read the book. With some proper editing, this book would be a flawless story overall. While I don't like a couple of moments where Sophie flies off in anger, because I feel like it is misplaced when she held it in in another situation, it's not all bad.
Overall I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. It's a good story! The suspense element is there. It's a good mystery of where you read along to try and figure out who actually committed this heinous crime and piece it all together. I just think that it needs a proper proofreading and then it will be all good.
