First of all….WHAT DID I JUST READ?!?!?! Second of all….Holy Smokes!!! A twisted psychological thriller that will keep you up all night and your mind reeling!!

What would you do when you see some videos of your husband molesting teenage school girls? Well, Lila Ridgefield decided to get rid of her husband, Aaron who is a coach at the high school as well as beloved Math teacher. But then her plans backfires a little as both Aaron and his car goes missing. Soon the police officers, Ginny and Pete question her, suspecting if she had anything to do with Aaron’s missing…

Meanwhile college aged girls goes missing, the latest was a girl named Karen Blue who was last seen few months ago. Are the two cases related?

The plot gets interesting as soon as you start reading the first chapter. Did Lila really kill her husband? Or is someone else also involved? There were unexpected twists and turns that makes you gasp out loud And as you go further and further, you are so engrossed into the book that you actually couldn’t wait what is going to happen next!!! The writer indeed did a good job drawing the reader into the story! The ending was shocking and unexpected that I literally had to take a breather to calm myself down. This was fast paced as well with twists and turns you didn’t even expect. The characters to me are all unreliable, particularly, Lila, Jared that even made the story more disturbing and intriguing at the same time.

This was really a twisted domestic suspense novel that will keep you up all night. I simply couldn’t put this book down and I was so engrossed into the story that I didn’t even realized until I came to the end that I finished the book! I am actually looking forward to read more books from this author and I could definitely see this book made into a movie.

This book totally worth five stars!
