When I got this one in the mail from BOTM, I jumped right into it. It was page turning and every bit the psychological thriller that it’s labeled as! I was glad to have given it the chance! Reading this book made me want to turn back time, bundle my kiddos into a bubble and never let them go, especially since my own child went through a horrific ordeal himself at the hands of his former stepmother. I definitely think that if you didn’t get this one with BOTM and want to read a novel by a talented author, you grab this 3.5 star read up. Be prepared to stay hooked until the end, needing to feel the emotions that thrown to the reader. Be prepared to experience every twist, every horror, every thought that is within the covers of Girl A.

*I purchased this novel. All opinions, negative or positive, are my own.*
