Every Fall book review
"i enjoyed the thriller aspect of the novel as well as the hint of supernatural mystery. very intriguing all the way through, i read it in 3 days. its a cozy read, but pretty dark and the husband is a huge red flag so it was hard to read from his pov sometimes and have compassion for him despite his actions."
