Kaylee is a famous influencer. She uses her family, husband and three foster children, for her vlogs. They are a picture perfect family. But a horrible accident leaves Kaylee as the only survivor of this family. Nora, who works for the child protecting service, was involved with the family. She can’t believe what Kaylee is telling about what happened. Nora, who suffered abuse as a child herself, has the feeling that something is strange about that accident and she begins to investigate.
This story is a character driven domestic drama. So there is much tell and less action. But it is still gripping and haunting. Unfortunately I could not connect to Nora. She had a traumatic childhood and she is still haunted by it. She wants to help other children and women who suffer something similar. But she is a difficult character. She is stubborn and self-righteous. The title of the book suggests that this will become a series. I am not sure if I want to follow Nora on her way. But I would recommend this book even it is very dark and sad.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
