However the end was a huge disappointment. What happened with Annie and Hannah? ( ) Possible Triggers: Domestic Violence Rob Cussen lives in a beautiful California suburb with her handsome husband Irving and two daughters, Callie and Annie. Her life is beginning to become undone, and the cracks are beginning to show. Irving cheats on her constantly, and while Annie, the youngest and her favorite, is the sweetest child, she worries about the strange, friendless twelve-year-old Callie. Still, she’s determined to give the girls a normal, "All-American" life...a type of life that she had been denied. So-what if it means putting up with the increasingly violent Irving, whose bitterness toward her no longer emerges just through his cheating. These two have knock-down, drag-out fights that sometimes have Rob running for her life. Still, she can't bring herself to leave him. She’s determined to stay in this nightmare of a marriage...are you ready for this? To give her daughters a "stable??", family life with both parents. This was the first of many times that I wanted to hit her upside the head with the book!! Then an incident between her children occurs that forces her to finally face the truth that she’s been trying to hide. Shocked into action by the violence she witnesses between her girls, she decides to take Callie, the main instigator, back with her to her family’s home out in the Mojave Desert. The reader gets both sides of the story both from Rob and Callie’s perspectives. The story is a frightening puzzle of a novel that unfolds in overlapping layers as Rob struggles with the need for both supremacy and survival...especially from her eldest daughter. Her past has marked her, but is Callie destined to the same fate or is Rob just giving in to the madness and paranoia in trying to "save her child? I was surprised by how few of the plot twists I could see in this tale of this complicated, terrible family and the ghosts of the past that haunted them. Rob and Callie are difficult, almost impossible characters to like, but by the end, I was more invested in them both. The author has managed to cleverly unravel this families seemingly terrible decisions in such unexpected yet realistic ways, making this one of the most startlingly convincing novels I have ever read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Sinopsis: Ganadora del premio a la mejor novela que otorga la asociación International Thriller Writers, Todo lo que Rob quería era una vida normal. Y casi la consigue: un marido, dos hijas, una bonita casa en las afueras. Pero bajo este barniz de normalidad, Rob teme por sus hijas: por Callie, que colecciona pequeños huesos y susurra a amigos imaginarios; por Annie, y lo que Callie podría hacerle. Rob ve en Callie algo oscuro que le recuerda a la familia que dejó atrás y decide llevar a Callie a Sundial, la casa de su infancia en el desierto de Mojave. Callie tiene miedo a su madre. Rob ha empezado a mirarla de forma extraña, a contarle secretos de su pasado que la inquietan y la excitan. Y Callie empieza a preguntarse si una de las dos no saldrá viva de Sundial.
