This was really fast paced, exactly what I needed. I thought I guessed the plot twists but I was very wrong. Highly recommend if you're looking for something easy to read and need to get out of a reading slump.

This book was SO gripping. It wastes no time throwing you straight into the plot, so it is very tense right from the beginning. I have read some of the author’s other works and she is so good at throwing you off. I thought I knew the twist that was coming but I was wrong in the end. the entire book gives you a sort of “this is so weird” feeling that you just want to know more and it keeps you hooked. The characters aren’t shallow and they are interesting to learn more about as the book progresses. The ending is shocking and it has made me want to read more of her works. This is an excellent thriller and why this genre is so fantastic.

A good book. I enjoyed it, didn’t see the twist coming and I wanted to find out more. I liked the dual perspectives in this book too. That helps keep me interested! But I doubt I’d read it again and it’s one of her more forgettable ones compared to the others I’ve LOVED and rated 5 stars (ward D, the teacher, the housemaid and housemaids secret).
