All her life, she's been the girl who survived. Orphaned at age seven after a horrific killing spree at her family's Oregon cabin, Kara McIntyre is still searching for some kind of normal. But now, twenty years later, the past has come thundering back. Her brother, Jonas, who was convicted of the murders has unexpectedly been released from prison. The press is in a frenzy again. And suddenly, Kara is receiving cryptic messages from her big sister, Marlie-who hasn't been seen or heard from since that deadly Christmas Eve when she hid little Kara in a closet with a haunting, life-saving command: Don't make a sound.
As people close to her start to die horrible deaths, Kara, who is slowly and surely unraveling, believes she is the killer's ultimate target.

Though the events that took place when she was a child may have shaped the FMC into the woman asks is today, I believe there was just too much to blame on circumstances and situation to account for her almost inability to seem to survive as an adult. She kept stating that her aunt took advantage, the lawyer, her sister, etc. - everyone took some type of advantage of her, resulting in her losing something important in her life. Her family, her inheritance, her naivete. While these things can explain some of this character's childish disposition, it can't explain it all. It was just too much for me. I wanted her to fight back some. To grow up and be the adult that she was now, trying to deal with the situations now. But she was too human and fallible, instead withdrawing into herself and this almost childlike persona. Where it was purposeful or not, it make want to push through just to see if there Spyker be some growth. While this wasn't my favorite book, it did hold my attention and got me thinking
