I loved the writing style of this novel, with it's short chapters and multiple timelines. The book starts with a situation that introduces us to Effie and also lets the reader know that there will be surprises and scares! As we delve into Effie's life, a child appears, in apparent distress. The book then continues to solve the mystery around this child. There are several plot twists that were completely a surprise to me. There were a couple that I started to figure out, but was never fully correct. There was one character that puzzled me throughout...what was her real role in the mystery? However, the author finally answered that question at the conclusion when this thrilling, scary and violent story came to an end. This was an enjoyable page turner!
