A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
4.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5 (rounded to 5 on Goodreads)

I could not put this book down! I'm so mad at myself, I truly thought (and felt smug because I never guess right) I had everything figured out but was surprised by the turn of events that took away that smugness!

Chloe is the daughter of a convicted serial killer. She's about to get married to Daniel. She escaped her hometown when she could and never looked back, but when a couple of new girls go missing one after another in her new city, it brings back memories.

Chloe does a few things that don't make her look great, but I could understand a little of why she does what she does. I had doubts about her relationship with Daniel for most of the book. He was very suspicious to me. 

I didn't see the ending coming. I'm happy that Chloe was able to do what she could at the end to right things. Incredible debut from the author! The short chapters make it a quick and very compelling read!
