I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

The newest Wendy Dalrymple and of course I couldn’t just leave it when I saw it on Netgalley, I had to request it! I am so thankful that I got to read this book! It was a ride! I started reading on one day just to get a taste and then the next I just read it all. It was that good. You just don’t want to stop.

I thought this book would just be about a spooooooky credenza and see people get haunted, I would have been happy with that already, but instead it is so much more. The credenza is almost alive. It seems to have a heartbeat. Then there is a weird and creepy dude who is desperate to get his hands on it which already raised many a red flag for me. And then as the story continues we learn more about the credenza, about our MC’s family, why her mom went crazy and why her mom is so desperate to get that credenza out of this world (seriously she is dedicated), and much more. I loved every nugget of new information and I was just so invested. I never once thought it was too much, in fact it was just perfect. Plus, it got really scary and I love that.

Then it all comes together in the end and boy there were some revelations that had me GASPING and going OMG. Plus, that last bit of the story? Perfection! And yes, as you may notice I am keeping things vague as much as I can. I want people to gasp and squeal and go OMG at all the points as well.

The only parts that didn’t work for me were the cannibalism parts at the end. I am already not a gore girl, but with my (I assume given other symptoms) perimenopause around I really cannot stomach much. So yeah, I almost puked over my Kindle, sorry Kindle.

And as a Dutchie, I appreciate the Dutch references/the fact things were made/happened there.

All in all, if you want an exciting read with cannibalism, mysterious organisations/protectors, and tons of scary WTF/OMG moments, I would highly recommend this one. You won’t be bored!
