I was really expecting something more thrilling and chilling, the first few chapters were and the last few chapters were but the middle of the book felt more like an example of three people dealing with their own emotional distress. 

I think the book would have been more thrilling if we knew from the beginning the captor was still alive, up until the last 50 pages we thought he and the threat were dead.

A fantastic read. I loved the alternating character POVs in this book. It kept me engaged and made it hard to set this book down. 

My only complaint is that the monologue of the bad character at the end is super long and a little corny. Just kinda plays into the “big bad villain gives a long speech” trope. So I found myself skimming a bit there. 

That wasn’t too bad, though. Overall, I loved this book.

ich bin positiv überrascht wie schnell sich dieses buch gelesen hat. die story hat mich wirklich von den ersten fünfzig seiten an gepackt und ich konnte nicht abwarten mehr zu lesen. die unterschiedlichen sichtweisen waren so gut geschrieben, dass es sich nach mehreren charakteren angefühlt hat und auch das ende war nicht das, was ich erwartet habe. ich werde auf jeden fall mehr von romy hausmann lesen!
