  • Publisher: ‎ Graydon House; Original edition (April 26, 2022)
  • Paperback: ‎ 336 pages
  • ISBN: ‎ 9781525811579





Lorraine—“Rainy”—lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it’s a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget.
 
If she’s allowed to.
 
When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls’ weekend in Vegas, she’s prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn’t come back to the hotel room.
 
And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe’s phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why.
 
What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe—and herself—the only way is to step back into the past.



New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Tarryn Fisher is cooler than you, but not one to rub it in your face. She graduated first in her class at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is a lover of human nature, and a real life villain (House of Slytherin). Her heart is dark, but she loves you with it anyway. Currently she lives in Washington with her family and just finished her tenth novel, Folsom, which is now available.

My review for The Wives
My review for The Wrong Family


REVIEW:
So Tarryn is like an automatic purchase if I see she has a book coming out. Just like Chevy Stevens, she is up there as a favorite of mine. I couldn't wait to get this book when I heard about it. I actually ended up with 2 copies. NetGalley approved me and also the publisher sent me a paperback. Double squee!!
As with The Wrong Family, the beginning of the book is what I felt I had to push through to keep reading. I'm not a fan of dual timelines, and it's what she seems to love to write. If you keep going past the confusion, you start to understand the story and then it takes this twisted spot inside your brain. You go on this wild, page turning ride of pain and suffering mixed with wanting a fairytale ending, and BAM! I tell you, when I read that last paragraph, I got choked up!!! Yup, I'm psycho or something, but I literally felt the same thing Summer/Rainy felt.
So in the end, I loved the story!
The beginning is why it's not 5 stars from me. Still, I urge you to read it! It's awesome!


4.5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
