An intriguing and compulsive read. The story follows Laura and her 17-year-old daughter Tilly who after the tragic loss of Gavan move into a local farm which houses a small commune of people lead by Alex. 

The story is told from the perspective of Laura, Tilly in the first person and Alex in the third person. It is interesting to see the different perspectives of Laura and Tilly in certain situations and clearly shows the angst and uncertainties in their relationship. The story heavily teases at the secrets held by each of the three as it progresses. 

There are plenty of twists and turns throughout the tale and nothing is as it seems.

A gripping page-turner that I would recommend to others.

This is the third book I have read  by Louise Jensen (the other two being The Sister and The Gift), and I love how they are all thrillers with a difference. This is definitely the darkest of her stories I have read; addressing how brainwashing can be perceived by different people from the perspectives of 17 year old Tilly and her mother, Laura (as well as a couple of other characters). I was really gripped during the last quarter of the book, where the action really picks up, and becomes very dramatic - yet still somehow believable, which is something many thrillers lack.
