I loved this book.
Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.
Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.

It took longer reading this book than I would have liked and I think it’s because I felt as if it dragged on. The pages itself were longer than I anticipated & I guessed a few plot points here and there. Helen deserved better and so did Katie. Nothing was bad writing wise, I just couldn’t stand most of the main male characters minus a few of the newspaper / police characters.
