I feel like Lucinda Berry has the perfect formula to make me happy with a thriller. A steady pace, characters built with depth, lots of plot twists in between and slightly ambiguous and weird endings. Ive come to enjoy looking forward to how she's gonna end her books.  

As usual I was emotionally invested in the characters from the start. 
I wasn't expecting to enjoy the cult thriller because it's a widely disliked trope that I've never bothered to try out but i really did enjoy reading it. 

I loved the way this explored how each person reacted in this scenario, the mom who's been so thoroughly brainwashed, the daughter reuniting with the mom she thought was long gone, the dad who is still madly in love with his wife who went missing a decade ago, and his new wife who's seeing where she fits into all of this 
Overall another great thriller experience.
