3.5 star read
Gwen Tanner has spent the past two decades trying to escape the shadow of her past — as the daughter of a notorious serial killer, she’s built a quiet life for herself. But everything begins unraveling when she returns home to find a box left on her doorstep containing a body part and a chilling note: I know who you are.

As Gwen is forced to confront her dark past and the secrets she’s tried so hard to bury, she must decide how far she’ll go to protect the new life she’s built.

This is a tense, atmospheric thriller that explores guilt, trauma, identity, and family legacy. The pacing is mostly fast-moving, though there are a few lulls along the way. The tone blends dark humor with classic thriller tension, and the dual timelines — present-day Gwen and her past life — add depth to her story.

Overall, it was a decent read. Every major character carries emotional or psychological baggage, and that weight threads through the entire story. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for future books by Amy K. Green.

Great psychological thriller. Daughter of a serial killer, both parents in prison. Someone knows her history but who?? How will she protect her secrets?

The author writes very well. I was captivated by the first paragraph. But as I continued reading I found the mutilation by a pseudo cult of supposed friends disturbing. I know someone who self-mutilates. I would read another book by this author, Amy K. Green but I cannot recommend this book.
