What a great read!  Another excellent story from @KierstenModglinsuthor!  Maggie moves back to her small town home to start over after ending her long-term relationship.  She buys a house and strange things start happening when she’s alone.  She struggles with who to trust to help her: her childhood best friend, the old flame that broke her heart, or neither of them.  I loved Maggie as a protagonist!  She really wanted to make some changes about herself to prevent past patterns from reappearing.  I liked that see her stumble a few times falling back to her old ways and watch her gracefully acknowledge those mistakes and reset.  There were so many twists and revelations around every corner.  I was constantly engaged and wanting to know what would happen next.  I listened to this one in 2 days-always had my earbud going!  I really enjoyed the narrator, @britpressley.  I sometimes have trouble keeping track of male characters with a female voice actor, but this was any easy listen!

Thank you @NetGalley, #KierstenModglin, and @dreamscape_media for the opportunity to listen to this advanced copy audiobook for an honest review!
