The House on Cold Creek Lane

De: Liz Alterman

Narrado por: Emily Ellet, Gail Shalan

An unflinching examination of motherhood and the dark side of domesticity set against a suburban backdrop that's anything but blissful. This twisty tale invites listeners to a slow motion unravelling that culminates in a devastating finale!

Who was I? What had I become?
Breathe, I commanded. You're doing this for your family.

When Laurel and Rob West move into their new home in New Jersey, it seems too good to be true. But Laurel can't shake off her old feelings of anxiety. The neighbor who pays far too much attention to the Wests' two young children… Rob watching her every miss step… and there's something people aren't telling her about this house…

I promised myself I wouldn't go to that neighborhood again. Not that street. Not so soon.
But I couldn't help it. They made it too easy.

Corey Sutton is trying to outrun her past. Recently divorced and reeling from a devastating loss, she moves into her widowed mother's retirement condo in Florida. Everyone says she just needs some time to recover and rebuild… but is Corey beyond saving? She wants answers. And there's very little she won't do to get them.

Though Laurel and Corey have never met, the women have something in common, and if they're not careful, it may just destroy them both…

Really good

I enjoyed this book a lot. It kept me interested and I finished it in a day.

Quite entertaining

Enjoyed this one. I really liked it for the most part. I never find myself disliking kids, but the narration of a bratty kid was so on point, I almost lost it! I could’ve done without some of his content!
The main characters were both quite likable (eventually-one was whiny but she’d had a hard life), however, like real life, they are both Bad-Decision Betties. It was written in crack format, albeit predictable (if you’re a thriller connoisseur). With that being said, I enjoyed it a lot.

predictable but entertaining

I figured the entire story out early on but the story was engaging and kept me entertained. I liked the back and forth POV of the two main characters.. one of the narrators when doing different voices made it difficult for me to understand what they were saying. aside from that I highly recommend.

A new favorite author.

I loved this author's last book so I preordered this one and it did not disappoint. She's a new auto buy for me. I can't wait til the next one!

B+

It was fun easy read, some parts very predictable but enjoyed it and recommend it
