Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doing her best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself. But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can't look in a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things. Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with her past and inner self. Instead, visions of terrifying, mutilated specters overwhelm her with increasing regularity and she begins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases. Mary discovers that these experiences are echoes of an infamous serial killer. Then the killings begin again. Mary's definitely going to find herself.

OMG!!! I truly don't know what to say. I don't even know what I read. Honestly the foreword and afterwords we're the best part's. Nadine though was HILARIOUS to me!!!! She truly was a hoot!! I have NEVER taken soooo long to finish an audiobook in my life. I wanted to DNF so bad but 1. I wanted to finish for my first book in this book club and 2. I wanted to know how it ended. Mary was all over the place. The storyline was a clusterf!!!cluster!!!! I don't mind gorge at all, I've read some unhinged things but they made since. Mary was not weird (don't like that description normally) but she was was completely unhinged just like the pace and writing of this story. Thus was my first Nat Cassidy book and I will give another one a try, but this was a IDK 🤷🏾♀️
I went into this blind. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. This book has some f’d up shit in it, and I loved it. Let’s not forget Aunt Nadine’s one liners, so good.
