After Nina's husband Glen disappears without a trace while fishing, leaving debt and betrayal behind him, Nina is ready for a new start. Simon seems perfect-- a history teacher at her children's school, willing to provide for her and her family, becoming the kind of father to them that they've never had. But Nina's daughter Maggie isn't so easily fooled. Something just seems off about Simon, glimpsed in a rare moment of temper, and Maggie is determined to show her mother the monster he's trying to hide.
This is truly the most disturbing psychological thriller I've read in a while. I was hanging on every word to see what crazy thing Simon would do next, and how much he could get away with and still have Nina stand by him. Then a major twist came halfway through the book that just left me speechless and changed everything. I absolutely could not put this book down!
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
