I keep most people at arm's length for a reason. If you have an emotional attachment to develop, eventually that person will disappoint you. They might not mean to, but if a better opportunity comes along, they will always leave you for it. I've learned it the hard way that people- even loved ones are transient souls. . . . I know how it feels to have your world thrown from its axis through no fault of yours. . . . A crazy book. Keeps you on the edge. Every house has its secrets and this house has too many to process. It was a wonderful read. . . . #bookmarksofinstagram #johnmarr #whatliesbetweenus #booksaddict #bookreview #bookphotograph #booksandcoffee #booksandmusic #music #booksandbeyond #bookshelves #thebigbookbox #chapteronebookstore #bookstagramfeature #bookseller #bookquotes #bookstagramuk #booksmakemehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CDLpCN3JRCR/?igshid=1myb0ddxg9rqn

My review: 4.5 Stars. That was pretty intense! This was a well-paced slow burn full of secrets, lies, crimes and other skeletons in the closet. I enjoyed the two narrators approach, after a while wondering who to believe? Unreliable? There was much to sift through in this tight, attention-keeping plot. Such a great read, highly recommended for fans of these genres. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ebook ARC in exchange for an honest review. #WhatLiesBetweenUs #NetGalley

How far would you go to protect your family if you knew it was the right thing to do? In What Lies Between Us, John Marrs gives us a mother and daughter who are willing to push the limits of right and wrong. “Maggie heads up to her attic room after dinner where her daughter, Nina, chains her to a bolt in the floor. Maggie stays there until Nina comes back - maybe tomorrow - maybe the next day. Why is Maggie chained up? What happened?” Marrs gives us two truly disturbed characters. The story shifts POV between Nina and Maggie and also shifts between present and past. We see the crazy logic they both use to make the “right” decision. This is a good book for those that like messed-up characters. (Nina steals books from the library so mum will have something to read. Books like Room and Flowers in the Attic.) Tough ending and you’ll look twice at your neighbor’s flower beds. 😮 Book has excellent pace. You may guess at some things but Marrs will surprise you with others. Only issue I have is the handful of cliches. It’s a bit annoying. Good book to add to your summer reading list. Thanks to @netgalley and @amazonpublishing for the ARC.
