El final ha sido la ostia y el principio ha estado muy bien, el problema ha sido todo el desarollo del libro desde que encontaron a Tilly muerta hasta el plotwist. El desarollo ha sido muy repetitivo, hasta el punto de llegar a tener la sensación de que estaba leyendo el mismo capitulo una y otra vez porque siempre tenian el mismo monologo interior. Me ha gustado que me hayan tenido todo el libro intentando ver cual de las hermanas es la narradora de los capítulos del pasado y que terminase no siendo ninguna, he de admitir que mi perspectiva cambiaba cada dos párrafos (asi que a esa parte del libro le doy mis dieces). En el fianl ha habido una cosa que no me ha gustado mucho y es que cuantas probabilidades hay de que le des tres golpes en la cabeza a una persona con un ladrillo y que siga teniendo fuerzas no solo para hablar sino para levantarse, coger un cuchillo y apuñalar a alguien. Simplemente me parece muy poco realista y si bien el hecho de que apuñalase a Lenora era importante para luego hacer la comparacion entre Cassie y Sarah/Sandra me parece que simplememente podria haberlo hecho antes en vez de meter en un final tan bueno algo tan inverosimil.
Me siento una profesora de lengua usando esa palabra basta.
He tardado lo suyo en temrinarmelo y creo que por eso tampoco me ha enganchado tanto el libro aunque si no se hubiese vuelto tan repetitivo me lo huebiese terminado hace mas de una semana.

It was a slow-burn psychological thriller that kept me guess till the end. Such a great read!
Told from multiple POVs, all the narrators were unreliable. The POV kept switching between the twin sisters- Cassie and Lenora in the present and one of the sisters (unnamed) in the past. It made so hard to decide who to believe.
3 secluded cabins, unreliable characters, family secrets, murder and missing time. The book was creepy, unique and sinister. The characters were intriguing. The atmosphere was creepy and isolating. I loved it! The ending had me shook!
This is Marlee’s debut book and I absolutely enjoyed it. I can't wait to see what she writes next.
I would recommend this book if you enjoy a creepy, unputdownable slow-burn thrillers.
Thank you so much Poisoned Pen Press, Netgalley and Marlee Bush for this ARC copy!

The plot of this book had so much potential, unfortunately the pacing just killed it for me. The pacing was just fast enough to keep me from DNFing.

Listened to the audiobook
Pros: Unique setting, characters I could tell apart even though they’re twins, a few fun & surprising developments
Cons: Slow moving, 2 or 3 too many red herrings, kind of unbelievable body count? Very long audiobook chapters
