I am so glad I grabbed this book for my Book of the Month December read - WOW. I loved Stacy's storytelling in "A Flicker in the Dark", but "All the Dangerous Things" reigns supreme.

What I loved:

She kept me guessing until the bitter end - I love when I'm completely surprised at the ending of a book.
I loved the role of sleepwalking and losing control of your body
I also loved the deeper concept of losing control of your mind - can you imagine if you were doing things while sleepwalking and you had absolutely no memory of doing them?!

This book also talks about grief and post partum depression in a very realistic way. Stacy's note at the end of the book stated that she did extensive research on PPD and her ability to convey very real emotions during the early stages of motherhood was very well done. I found myself underlining several paragraphs that felt so relatable.

Highly recommend this book if you're looking for a thriller unlike something you've ever read before!
