I found this story somewhat predictable and I'm not sure I love it when a male author writes from a female's POV regarding sexual assault and themes revolving flirting and outward appearance. It was an entertaining read but I didn't particularly stand out to me.

My Opinion:
I was in need of a thriller to change things up a bit and this was a sort of buddy read and trying to guess who the killer was it's exciting and fun.
The plot is very predictable and the writing wasn't that good and it shows that it was his debut novel, but it was a lot of fun and I couldn't stop reading until I got my answers. That's why I gave this rate.
If you want a nice thriller, this is a good choice.
