Great read !

Definitely a boats turner. The ending is not what I had hoped for but I'm hoping the author will continue the series ! There is so much she has to offer!

I had been salivating for this final book in Deanna's story. I couldn't wait. My mind was always wondering what Alessandra had in store for this book. This ending to the captivating story was well worth the wait!

Is Deanna the one who tried to kill Jeremy? Did she stab him? Push him out of his window? Will she survive prison? Is prison worse for Deanna's mental capacity than her apartment of seclusion? What is really going on in the world that Deanna has worked so hard to avoid all of these years?

This one, like the others, had me at the first word. This book surpasses any expectations I could have possibly had before reading it. It's gripping and suspenseful. I found myself questioning if she truly was capable of such a heinous crime. I found myself waivering and wondering. I tried to piece everything together to figure out just what really happened.

In true fashion, Alessandra will have you on the edge of your seat from the start to finish. This book will blow your mind. It is pure perfection!

I didn't like how this book was written, but I can see what the author was doing. It flips between the past and present and we don't know whether Deanna has committed a crime or not. I found it a bit slow, and although it picked up in the middle it didn't go where I wanted it to.
It seemed a bit far-fetched, she didn't get to finish with

Spoiler

Simon and his sister, and she doesn't meet Mike and runs off to the Cayman islands

.
I preferred it when she was camming and the evil guy was her follower. She seemed a lot crazier in this book.
