A quick, standard read. I keep trying these types of books and am mostly disappointed. There's TOO much "woe is me", "am I going crazy", "what if.....???" I don't like the constant repetition that I'm sure is supposed to reflect the confusion or fear or something of the character, but I just find it off-putting. So while some may like this type of character, it's not for me. The little girl seemed pretty together for a 3 year old....more so than the mom sometimes. ( )

This was a really enjoyable, twisty little novel. The story sucked me in right away and I couldn't put it down until I was finished.

Veronica's pilot husband may or may not have died in a plane crash, and her 3 year old daughter has a sinister, imaginary friend who seems to know much more about his disappearance than she should. As the questions pile up and the life she shared with her husband is revealed to be a lie, Veronica doesn't know who to trust and soon begins to doubt her own sanity.

With all the twists and turns, it seems impossible that the author will be able to wrap this up in a satisfactory way, but for me she really pulls it off. Highly recommend. ( )

SO good! I couldn’t put it down. ( )

Book source ~ Kindle First

Veronica Cavanaugh and her husband Micah have been having a difficult time of getting pregnant for all of their marriage. After a round of IVF they had Elizabella and she’s a miracle. When Bella’s three they finally get pregnant with twin boys only to lose them. Even so, they keep trying, but in the middle of their next round of fertilizing eggs Micah just disappears. And his disappearance triggers an investigation that has Veronica sitting at the very top of the suspect list. As the police dig deeper more and more things about Micah come to light and Veronica can’t seem to catch her breath. On top of all of this, Bella has an imaginary friend who drops tidbits about Micah. The most devastating of which is that Micah is dead. What?!

Veronica is losing it. Or thinks she is. Hit after hit keeps coming and with the police breathing down her neck, she’s beginning to wonder if her mom’s mental illness has been passed along to her after all. Things come to a head in the Florida Keys, but before that Veronica’s world is forever and always changed.

This book is at times wonderful and other times frustrating. It clips right along and then slows down to an unbearable crawl. Veronica is also not very likeable at times and other times really stupid. Not all the time, just enough to irritate. The mystery of Micah keeps the book intriguing and is the reason I had to keep reading. And let me tell you, I was totally not expecting that last part of the book. I had theories, but wow. I did not see that coming. Any of it. Totally worth my time. ( )

Kept me guessing til the end

I read this book in two days and missed sleep to do it, not something I allow often. Kept me guessing til the end, ( )
