Must read! So many emotions, twists and turns. The story was captivating I enjoyed the mystery and it’s hard to keep that going for so long! Love it!

I am utterly speechless shocked to bits. My heart aches for the protagonist her son Aiden and this entire family and the harrowing devastating trauma and suffering they’ve been subjected to particularly poor Aiden. I actually had to put this down and parallel read a RomCom book because it was so incredibly immense and painful to read. I cannot wait to read book #2. Highly recommend to those who aren’t triggered by highly abusive, traumatic experiences and violent behavior and physical abuse and child sexual abuse and neglect. I know I was definitely getting affected by certain situations and just put it down for a few days and redirected myself by immersing myself into a lighter comical themed book. Then I’d be able to delve back into this book. But if you’re unable to continue and it’s affecting you immensely just close it up and be done with it.

I was supposed to only read to chapter 19, because I just joined a book club for the first time and that was the assignment. Before I knew it, I was at chapter 30 and thought I might as well finish! Was hooked from the summary as soon as I read HE RETURNED. The story almost felt drawn out, but it started to come together perfectly. I laughed at Emma’s paranoia. Lol, everyone was the culprit. This could be a great movie! On my way to the sequel!

This is a masterpiece. Definitely, not your average thriller. The author must have a very vivid imagination. So many levels of drama.

I couldn’t stop reading this book! It was so detailed and the plot thickened with every page.

The story was well written except for all the terrible language. None of the characters were likable, but it was a believable story.

If mystery and twists are your things, this book is for you! Very well put together and keeps you on edge

I could not put it down!

Well done. Very entertaining.

It makes you wonder if there is hope for the family.
