It’s Not Her

This was more of a “like” vs. “love” thriller, but it’s still worth the read. Fast-paced, twisty, and honestly? A little bit scary. Courtney is on vacation with her family, staying in a couple of cabins at a lakeside resort. She hears a blood-curdling scream across the way and goes to investigate. There, she finds her traumatized niece . . . and the bodies of her brother and sister-in-law, both brutally murdered. Her nephew is still asleep, and her older niece, Reese, is missing. As she works with the police to figure out what happened (and where Reese went), secrets about their town and family come to light. Courtney begins to wonder if she can trust anyone, even her husband. Alternating between Courtney and Reese’s perspectives, we simultaneously cringe at Reese’s rebellious teenage decision-making and wonder whether Courtney will ever figure out what happened!
