I don’t think I can give it more than 3. It was okay. Was expecting a bit more from this book but sadly it was incredibly predictable. Right down to the twist at the end. Main character does have a good arc. But it wasn’t enough to make me give it more than 3 stars 🙈

Fairly good book. Interesting twist at the end. The protagonist is highly annoying at times but shame has a good heart.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I enjoyed it enough to want to read her other books. It started off a little rocky for me. At first I didn't like the main character, Suzie all that much, but that gradually changed as I continued to read the book. I also didn't like Emily, the girl that lived upstairs, but for a completely different reason. That also changed as I read. The story goes at a slow pace and there were no real big twists or revelations that I didn't see coming, but it worked for me. My favorite character ended up being the main character's sister. I loved the way she helped, protected, and defended Suzie.

Lately, I feel like I've been on a real winning streak with the psychological suspense books I've chosen, and I'm glad to have found some books by authors that I enjoy reading.
