A not-to-be-missed novel of suspense about the secrets hidden in a young couple’s new neighborhood.
Kat and Doug felt like Aurora Village was the perfect community. Minutes from the city, affluent without pretension, low crime with a friendly vibe – it’s everything Kat never had, and that she’s determined to provide for her infant daughter. Snagging a nice bungalow in this exclusive enclave was worth all the sacrifice. But everything changes overnight when Kat finds a scrawled note outside their front door.
That wasn’t very neighborly of you.
As increasingly sinister and frighteningly personal notes arrive, each one stabs deeper into the heart of Kat’s insecurities, paranoia, and most troubling, her past. When the neighbors who seemed so perfect reveal their open secret, the menace moves beyond mean notes. Someone’s raising the stakes.
As suspicious as she is of every smiling face and as terrified as she’s become of being found out, Kat is still unprepared for the sharp turn that lies just ahead of her on Bayberry Lane.
Eh, skip it I’m glad this was a free download through Prime because I didn’t particularly enjoy it. The main character Kat is very annoying, because of the never-ending tide of insecurity and self-doubt. While there’s a childhood trauma responsible for her behavior, her repeated failure to address it makes it difficult to sympathize. The plot also feels a bit forced and unpolished. Honestly, I almost stopped reading a few chapters in because Kat irked me from the beginning.Now I do disagree…
Far fetched & awkward I hate to write negative reviews but this was just a ridiculous and unbelievable plot, with terrible, one-dimensional characters and nothing redeeming. The protagonist / narrator was particularly annoying, but I pressed on, hoping for a killer plot twist. When it came, it was so bad I nearly threw my phone down in irritation at having forced myself to read on to that point.
Stepford Wives in a Trans-Urban twist Listen, I am not a prude but I feel like it is not fair or really cool to not give readers a heads up about the incredible amount of highly sexual content of this book.Parts were incredibly uncomfortable (again not a prude) but because I was not expecting it. You will accidentally stumble down the rabbit hole and not see it coming. I slapped my forehead for my lack of seeing the foreshadowing of things to come.Those who dislike f bombs will really need a pass on this…
