Pretty Little Thing

Pretty little thing by Kit Duffield

Beckett has to return home for the funeral. Both her mother and father die within a week of each other. Beckett didn't have a happy childhood and returning to a place who revered her father makes her sick to her stomach but things she had forgotten start to reemerge but a woman who claims to have been her best friend.... Isn't someone she remembers at all.

This one wasn't brilliant. I don't know but I kinda felt like the storyline missed its mark. I feel like the author let her father off with its aha moment and that didn't sit well for me. I didn't find the story very believable either and I think had the ending been different, it could have been a great thriller but it made a huge mistake at the end and I can't unsee that.

It has the atmosphere presence and the creep vibes in spades but it tried to force something I couldn't buy and that is a real shame. The stuff with her parents too.... HMMM yeah I didn't like how it unfolded. It was a shame because it could have been epic. The characters were solid and all the elements were there.
