Wow! This book had me guessing constantly. 
Brooke is a single mom trying her best to protect her son and give him the best she possibly can. She went through a traumatic experience in high school and is trying her best to avoid her past life….but it all comes barreling back into her as soon as she chooses to work for the prison. Such a wild and suspenseful book. It will definitely keep you guessing and thinking throughout!

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.0

Medium-fast paced book. This book was semi-predictable. The beginning and ending of the book were good. The middle was meh. There was a lot of back and forth, between two of the characters, Tim and Shane. “Tim’s a bad person.” “No, Shane’s a bad person.” This was the part that made it predictable, because it alluded that one of these characters possibly was guilty of something, rather than letting the suspense naturally build a little bit more. It got old after a while. The ending had a plot twist that I wasn’t predicting.

Sometimes you just need a terrible thriller book with 374 plot twists and 0 synapses firing for any character.
