My Darlings by Marie Still is a stunning psychological thriller. Eloise Williams is a philanthropist, PTO president, and a stay-at-home mom. But she’s much more than that. She is also a cold-blooded serial killer. More secrets are hidden behind closed doors in her affluent community, and when it becomes clear that someone knows hers, she’ll do what it takes to stay hidden. Soon, the tables are turned and Eloise has to up the stakes. The body count rises, but can Eloise really continue to get away with murder?
I love a good psychological thriller and My Darlings by Marie Still blew me away. This creepy tale will send shivers down your spine and it is not for the faint-hearted. Triggers include child abuse and death, bullying, domestic violence, and more, so be warned. This story has an incredibly strong female lead – most serial killer books tend to be about men, so this was a positive change. Eloise’s personality develops throughout the plot, her character becoming more desperate and crazy. This is a fast read, so be prepared; when you start reading, you’ll not want to put it down, and nor will you want to turn out the lights – ever again! It will also make you start second-guessing everyone you know and meet; after all, none of us knows what’s behind the faces we see. This is one wild story with some pretty graphic scenes, but if you love a good, twisted psychological thriller, this is the book for you.
