The Perfect Son

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden

All families have secrets. But some secrets are deadly.

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until, one quiet evening, two detectives show up at her front door.

"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about the girl who disappeared last night..."

A high school girl has vanished from their quiet neighborhood, and the police suspect the worst. Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.

Erika has always sensed something... different in her seemingly perfect oldest child. He's charming, smart, and popular, but mothers have the best instincts, and Erika knows there's more to her son than meets the eye. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth--Liam may have done the unthinkable.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a twisted, thought-provoking story about a family's loyalty pushed to the limits.

Ok, so it is probably obvious that I am a huge Freida Mcfadden Lover! Every one of her books always has me freaking out towards the end because of the big twist that is always at the end. Well let's just say that by the end of this book I was literally shook I actually screamed LIKE NO WAY! Right after finishing it. This book will have you believing that the main character's son is the one that is messed up beyond measure, but don't be fooled the moment the sister finds the missing girl in the hole in the abandoned Cabin and it leads you up to believing that her brother is the one who kidnapped and has been keeping the girl held hostage but then bam it turns out the whole time it was the father like WHAT!!!! This book left me in awe! A must read!!!!!

Frieda has done it again! Y’all this book was amazing! The plot twist you never see coming. The plot was very in-depth with details. What I will say is one of the characters is definitely a psychopath! This thriller will have you believing that the son is the killer the entire time when it’s really someone else very close in the family. This book is definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed this one. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PLOT: 📚📚📚📚📚 TWIST: 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️ CHARACTERS: 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
