From the critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author of When No One Is Watching comes a riveting thriller about the new caretaker of a historic estate who finds herself trapped on an island with a murderer--and the ghosts of her past. Years after a breakdown and a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder derailed her historical preservationist career, Kenetria Nash and her alters have been given a second chance they can't refuse: a position as resident caretaker of a historic home. Having been dormant for years, Ken has no idea what led them to this isolated Hudson River island, but she's determined not to ruin their opportunity. Then a surprise visit from the home's conservation trust just as a Nor'easter bears down on the island disrupts her newfound life, leaving Ken trapped with a group of possibly dangerous strangers--including the man who brought her life tumbling down years earlier. When he turns up dead, Ken is the prime suspect. Caught in a web of secrets and in a race against time, Ken and her alters must band together to prove their innocence and discover the truth of Kavanaugh Island--and their own past--or they risk losing not only their future, but their life.

Talk about slow burn! First two-thirds of book was mostly mental dialogue, almost DNFed, but glad I didn't. The ending had good action and a couple of twists.
Not enough people are singing the praises of this book. It's amazing. Not only does Cole manage to keep all of the personalities organized in such a manner that you know who is “in the lead” just by how they speak and act, she puts the “system” into peril in a castle on an island in the middle of a storm. Damn. I could not turn the pages fast enough.
Loved this!
Whew!!! What a wild ride this was! I have not read anything like this before and wasn't sure what to expect when I read the synopsis. It's still hard to wrap my head around everything and everyone within this story.
The author does a fantastic job writing about DID without over complicating it for the reader. That was my biggest fear, that it would be too chaotic and too disorganized in a messy way BUT it's chaotic and disorganized in exactly the right way. You have to read to understand what I mean. It's hard to explain.
The story itself is good too and I was flying through the pages. Highly recommend this one! I sincerely appreciate William Morrow and Harper Collins for the review copy.
