Megan Miranda writes my form of thriller. Her books are twisty and suspenseful and lead you in numerous instructions with out being too creepy or ugly.

It doesn’t take lengthy for suspicions to rise and unusual issues to start to occur as neighbors start to query Ruby over again… and in addition start to query one another.
