After reading The Cellar, I was instantly intrigued by Natasha's writing. It was so creepy and atmospheric that I knew that I had to read more of her work. When I saw her newest book was on NetGalley, I immediately put a request in. I thought what's the worst that can happen? I get rejected, but I knew I would still read it because I want to support her and her work.
Iris and Ivy are identical twin sister. After their parent's divorce, Ivy went and lived with her Dad, and Iris with their mom. After their mother's death, Iris moves in with Ivy and their dad. But Iris ends up dealing with their mother's death in a completely different way than Ivy. One that could leave one of them insane, or that's what she wants you to think.
It gave me the feeling of "I'm screaming and no one is hearing me!"
"Somewhere over time and our parents' separation, our silly dreams died, and we stopped sharing any new ones"
"Do you want to talk, Iris?"
Her haunted eyes look right through me.
"I want so much more than that."
The entire time I thought the ending was going to play out one way, but not to my surprise Natasha Preston leaves you on the edge of your seat. The book was creepy, disturbing and uncomfortable. I was hooked and was desperate to know the ending.
The build up to the end was perfect. It gives you a good amount of time to try to figure out what's going to happen and to be shocked when your idea flies out the window.
I have a feeling if I was younger, I would have given this a solid 5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Children's, Delacorte Press, and Natasha Preston for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
