Y’all this was a WILD ride. 

Go in blind. The first 85 pages are slow and then it gets wild fast. 

Really interesting thriller.

4.5

Gripping thriller that has so many twist and turns. I was able to correctly guess a few things but the end was fantastic and not at all what I would have expected! Dual POV between mom and the daughter who keeps her captive in her own house. 
I switched between kindle and audiobook (both included with kindle unlimited) and I loved the narrator.

Phew- what a read! I could not put this book down. If you are a fan of Lisa Jewell or similar writers this is a similar style.

This is the craziest, most original book I've ever read. All these twists and turns got me shook. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that it felt a bit unrealistic/too much at times. I'll think about this book for a while and recommend it to everyone.
