What if her gut instinct about having children was correct? As the years go on, others become more interested in the teen's death, unraveling the secret Sara has held close to her chest for all these years.
My Review:
I've heard a lot of good things about Rick Mofina and his writing. However, Everything She Feared is the first thing I've read of it. All things said and done, I must admit this is a pretty solid thriller! I love it when authors lean into the suspenseful side of storytelling.
There are a lot of familiar elements and tropes in this story. That said! They're combined in unique and interesting ways. This makes it impossible to tell which is the truth and which is intentional misdirection. Love it.
This is a great read if you love thrillers and creepy kid stories. On the other hand, if you are the type of reader that thinks creepy kids are just a touch too scary...walk on, my friend. Walk on.
