You Did Nothing Wrong by C G Drews is up for preorder with a 3.17.26 publication date.
MY REVIEW
OMG, I’ve found another must read author in C G Drews. His novel, You Did Nothing Wrong is psychologically horrific and I loved every minute of it. It was a definite mind fuck and I couldn’t put it down. I was drawn deeper and deeper in Elodie’s life. Nothing was as it seemed to me. Sure, Jude was her autistic son, but…there is so much more going on.
None of the characters are who I thought they were. Their actions are jolting, sure to up the creep factor, building and growing more and more intense, more savage, more ferocious.
Being inside Elodie’s head is not for the faint of heart. Sure, I may have had similar thoughts, but never took them to the extreme she does. Her life has been tough, and it brings to mind the whole nature nurture topic. Though it doesn’t excuse her actions.
I feel confident in saying that you won’t see the end coming. I love, love, love it, and I will be adding more of C G Drew’s books to my reading list. I you love horror with deep psychological twists and a house that may or may not be haunted, you’ll love You Did Nothing Wrong. By the way, that is a great and deceiving title, as is the cover.
I want to thank NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review You Did Nothing Wrong.
GOODREADS BLURB
A relentless, horror-inducing psychological suspense for fans of The Push and Baby Teeth by New York Times bestselling author CG Drews.
Single mother Elodie’s life has become a fairy tale. She’s met Bren, equal parts golden-retriever devoted and sinfully handsome. He’s whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he’s renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect.
Then Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are “hurting” the house. Even Elodie can’t ignore it–something strange is going on. The question is, is it with the house, or with her son?
Then the one secret Elodie has been hiding is revealed, and no one is safe anymore.
A pulse-pounding, clever take on the haunted house novel, You Did Nothing Wrong examines the complexities of motherhood and the twisted bonds of family as it races to its shocking ending.
