This book was a good read. I could predict most of the ending, but not everything! I was surprised at a lot of things that happened! Especially in the epilogue! Wow. Will definitely pick up another Frieda McFadden book in the future!

This book was really great until the ending. There were twists, there was suspense but like other Freida McFadden books I've read the ending seems really far fetched. It was too contrived. 

<Spoiler> I would have loved to see Tim be the bad guy. It would have been more of a redemption story for Shane to have been the good guy.

Also, a kid as a killer? Nah!

THE BEST BOOK IVE READ ALL YEAR!!! Insane plot twists you wouldn’t see coming! Wow my new favorite thriller author!!! This is the type of book that makes me want to lower all my other book ratings by a star. This is the ultimate five star book!! I hope this book is made into a move one day!

Thought process: 
* So predictable, it's obvious who the killer was. 
* OMG I was right. 
* Plot twist, nope I was wrong. 
* Another plot twist OMG I was right. 
* Another twist WTF I was not expecting who the other person was behind everything. 

Definitely binged this book! I started it yesterday and finished it today. Her books definitely get you hooked quickly and make it to where you can never put it down

********** SPOILER **********


Felt like I was reading some adult version of I know What You Did Last Summer. Most of the book was mediocre, and the reveal was almost laughable, but the last chapter, the epilogue of what really happened after the reveal, gave me chills.

Only thing I can’t figure out is whether Shane and Brooke are related. They share a father, so yeah, but then why are the characters treated as if they weren’t half-siblings? Very confused!
