If I hadn’t of been so busy this month I think i would have devoured this book in a couple of days. 

Laura is a very well written unhinged protagonist and villain, who you will despise through out but can’t get enough of! This book had me internally screaming out of frustration and anger - it really toys with your emotions and feelings towards characters. 

A deliciously dark and twisted thriller! I just wish certain aspects, specifically ones regarding Laura’s mindset (I don’t want to give spoilers) were explored further, so the reader could understand her further - as some parts left me wanting more! 

A very well written game of cat and mouse. But check TW!!
