I was really into it until I wasn't. If the whole possession part had been left out and I would have loved it. The other twists were believable. Either that or write the possession in a different/better way? I almost DNF and I have never done that before!

This book left me haunted for a few days. I definitely didn’t think it would take the turn it did. There were some things I seen coming but definitely not the big twist.

This book dealt with obsession and friendship. It is a mystery. It had suspense. It dealt with a woman who was forced to live at a lake house due to celebrity backlash and media. She becomes obsessed with her neighbors across the lake.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I had to force myself to put this book down to get some sleep. In parts, it really reminded me of the movie 'Fallen' with Denzel Washington, John Goodman, and Elias Koteas. If you know, you know.
