Review:
This book is another book that works with the past vs. present points of view.  However, it is some very sensitive subjects so if you are triggered by pedophile don't pick this up.  If you are interested in the dark side of humanity you may like this book.  There was some really good writing, but the ending seemed a bit rushed, I could have used a little more suspense near the end.  However, it did keep me on the seat of my chair trying to figure out what could happen and I had a few surprises that I didn't expect. This being a debut novel is worth the read, looking forward to more by Ms. Newman.

This book was provided to me in exchange for a honest review by Netgalley and the publisher.
