If you’re looking for a horror thriller family drama then this one might be for you! 
 
The plot is fascinating, it’s one of the reasons I keep on reading because I was intrigued by the mystery behind all these murders and also the supernatural element of the ‘Milk Man’. 
 
The characters are flawed and complex, each of them has their own struggle and dark secrets which makes to be a complicated family drama. 
I have to admit I admire the FMC’s action after knowing the secret of her own family that has been kept hidden from her all these years. 
 
As much as I enjoy this book, there are parts that felt a little bit dragging. The writing felt repetitive - the same things being repeatedly mentioned. Hence, making the book feels longer than it actually does for me. 
 
Overall, this is quite an enjoyable read that was wrapped up quite nicely – I did like the ending which comes surprising to me. 
I’ll keep an eye out for the next book by this author! 
 
Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tour, Netgalley, author and publisher for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
