i adore a cat and mouse chase story and this was incredible, didn’t find myself bored or yelling at my kindle at stupid choices. felt like very natural and human responses to the situation throughout the whole book. gore was well described and not too restrained or over the top. overall really amazing cat and mouse thriller

this was a nice, quick, read. from the first chapter you’re thrown into the plot and held tight by the suspense. 
the first plot twist was pretty predictable, but after that i hadn’t guessed what went on.
my only gripe was that it was written very YA style, which isn’t really my thing, but otherwise the story makes up for it.

I saw someone on Instagram that said read this book if you need to get out of a reading slump and they were absolutely right. This book had me hooked from the first line. It was the perfect twist of dark but not overly explicit. The main girls were strong and weren’t overlooked simply because they were girls. The villains were villians through and through. I appreciated that there was no redemption arc for them. They were terrible humans and deserved what they got in the end. I liked that there was a lot more implied and talked around rather that outright described. The whole backstory as to why the girls were captured was terrible but logical. I could not put this book down and any free second I had was dedicated to this book. I’ve already recommended this book to my friends because I needed someone else to read it so I could talk about it with them. I’ll have to get more of her books in the future.
