What Lies Between Us

What in the world did I just read! What a ride! I honestly would have had heartburn if I had not reached to the ending of the book by the time I did. Suspended life for a day to read this book. I had read “The One” by this same author John Marrs previously and found it good as well. Absolutely crazy story, with only a handful of characters. You will keep changing your opinion on the two main characters after each chapter, deeming each of them the bad guy alternatively. At a point you can indeed guess which version is the truth and which version is warped, and although some of their choices seem too far-fetched, this is one hell of a roller coaster ride. I could not contain the suspense, and I had to cheat and google the ending at about 92%. Ahem. But even knowing the ending, the rest of the story was still wild.

BOOK REVIEW 4/5

What is the book about?
Maggie and Nina have dinner together every other night. However, after their meal, Nina helps Maggie up to the attic to be tied to a chain until their next dinnertime.

What did I think of the book?
Well, it's John Marrs so I can expect the writing to be fast paced and intriguing. Almost every chapter is left with a cliff hanger so you keep wanting to read more. This book has a few twists and turns, some I saw coming and some I was completely caught unaware. It's the kind of story where you don't know who to root for. 

This is quite different from the John Marrs I usually read but it's a welcome change.

This one was rough.

I DNF'd “When you Disappeared” and reading this one makes me glad I did. I do not love John Marss' domestic psychological thrillers, I think he does better with scifi thrillers and general mysteries. This one in particular was a MESS and another one I almost DNF.

I read on a combo of audio and ebook.

Again, no likable characters and frankly not enough of a mystery to keep my interested.
