In this follow up to the award winning Sunburn, a claustrophobic tale of obsession, family, and identity…
In January, 1965, the growing town of Ballycrea has four new residents.
The O’Leary siblings arrive in their new village under suspicious circumstances. Desperate to make a new start and leave their troubled life behind, the O'Learys offer few, contradicting details about their past.
As they slowly settle in to town, the siblings are taken under the wing of Betty and Bill Nevan, a wealthy couple in their forties who have always wanted children. However, as one O’Leary sister grows close to Betty, lines are crossed and their intense relationship becomes difficult to define. All the while, the O’Leary’s buried secrets keep bubbling up, threatening to ruin their new future.
Gothic, lush, and suspenseful, Chloe Michelle Howarth spins a tangled web that leaves you wondering who to trust until the very last page.

Three adult siblings craving parental figures and doing anything in their power to find and keep them in their lives. The story lacks any subtlety, so much that it becomes frustrating and removes any fun. The many POVs don't really help the cause either, seeing that the characters are written paper thin and there's nothing you can grab and hold onto. Interior monologue after interior monologue later without any character agency or story progression, it's guaranteed to drive you mad. I enjoyed Sunburn, and even though I think Chloe Michelle Howarth is not a bad writer at all, I feel like even her beautiful prose couldn't save this story. If she tried to hop on the femgore / weird girl lit band wagon, then that one backfired. I'm actually mad I didn't drop it.
