This was a slow burn secluded setting thriller with intricate details into these characters lives and how not everything is always as it seems. I was so drawn in to these two sisters's lives in the solitude of this campground they lived in and the activites that kept happening in the darkest hours of the night.

You don't know who to trust and it will have you guessing to the very end.

As a twin myself, I’m a sucker for a thriller with a creepy and unreliable twin relationship. The setting in a secluded forest added an intensity to every scene as the two sisters, one an agoraphobe being dutifully cared for by the other, have their quiet escape rocked by the disappearance of a young girl in a nearby cabin.

You spend the entire book trying to figure out which twin might be the unreliable narrator, only to slam headfirst into incredible twists and an ending that deftly incorporates the singular importance of the forest in which they live.

From Matthew's list on thrillers to make your heart thump.
