This book was interesting. I think it was a different to write the story in an interview style. I liked it. This book was a good short story for me. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Very entertaining read. This short story by D.M. Wolfenden's bring us into the story of Carly, who is in police custody. We relieve he horrible tragic incidents she has witnessed. I found myself sucked into Carly's life. Recommended for any readers who can take some violence and a scary story. The story resolves the way most of us would want. Great read.

SPOILER FREE (unless character names are spoilers, which I don't think they are)
I received this book as an ARC from DM Wolfenden to review.
I'm not really a short story type of person, but I really enjoyed this one. I read this based off the description, which sounded really interesting. This Carly manages to introduce all the characters it needs to in order to complete the story. There's no blabbing on about something that's not important to the story.
One of the main things I liked about this story was how it was written interview-style, between Vanessa and Carly. It was refreshing from all those other books I read. I loved the way the characters were introduced. I could connect well with Carly and Lisa, which was really nice. In her own way, Carly comes off quite badass-y. I also enjoyed Vanessa's character arc. And the plot twists??? I mean come on! I like my con artist type shows, I should've seen that coming. I also adore the use of the flashbacks to get a feel on the characters and story without Carly's narration.
Overall, I rate this story a 4/5 stars because I thought it was a fantastic read, but it didn't move me. I didn't connect to it on an emotional level. However, I was left wanting to read more.
