pickI fully recommend this book! I was engaged the entire book while trying to figure out what happened to Izzy's son. And I still did not figure it out until I was reading the end of it. So many twists and lots of negative family history that effects Isabel during this story.
"The worst of it is that now, with a startling certainty, I believe it, too." -Izzy
so-soThis had so much potential, but I found the plot all over the place and a little sloppy.
I could not warm to Izzy, I sympathised with her after having her child taken from her but she was not likable at all. Quite an emotional book.
Trigger warnings for psychosis, death of a child, kidnapping, suicide, depression and more.
pickI kinda left this book on the back burner as my Libby app kept assaulting me with holds that I thought were weeks away and then they all come at once. Isabelle Drakes son Mason is missing and a year later she meets up with a podcaster to help potentially solve the case. Unreliable narrator, crappy husband, creepy neighbors, a haunted past. Who is really responsible for Mason going missing?
pickThis was great! An very engaging thriller, lots of twists & turns. A quick, bingeable read.

pickThis book was excellent. I could not put it down every time I picked it up. The writing and story both were perfectly constructed and kept me guessing until the end. The author really did a great job of not only telling a story, but using her words to truly make the reader become emotionally invested in the characters and the outcome. Full of twists and turns, this book is a page turner and definitely worth picking up.

Very interesting twist on a child abduction!
How devious…
so-soGreat idea for a collection of poems and stories about the night, but a disappointing execution. This read like a project compiled by a college student who, well, burnt the midnight oil, pulled an all nighter and haphazardly tossed a bunch of things together. Some of the stories and poems were ok and on theme, but a lot of them seemed random, nothing to do with the night and overall a boring selection. But glad to finally get this off my shelves🌛
