Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. 

Sarah Pekkanen is damn good at her job. As I sit here right now, safe and sound in my house, the back of my neck is pricked and shivers run down my spine. I am creeped the hell out. 

This one…this one will get to you. It’s real, it’s insidious, it’s under your skin before you know what’s happening. I am… at a loss for words. There’s nothing I can reveal that won’t be a potential spoiler. Just…trust me. It’s good. It’s better than good. Psychological thriller seems like an understatement. Perpetual creeping dread is closer to the reality. Damn. Do yourself a favor and read this one when it comes out this August. Just make sure no one’s behind you when you do.
