Really fast-paced, tense thriller! There hasn’t been many thrillers that have made me feel tense while reading but I definitely was anxious reading this one!

Crazy from start to finish. Super fast paced, finished in one sitting. Gets a little dark so pay attention to trigger warnings.

Honestly, I gave this a 4 because I enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure read. It’s not particularly well written, but the plot is super engaging and felt like a slasher movie. It is relatively predictable, but I’d say a fun read nonetheless.

I'm usually not a thriller fan, but someone recommended it to me, so I decided to give it a go.
It's super short, like read in one sitting short, but it's still an okay book. I don't really know what to say because the only thriller I love is the movie Gone Girl (2014), so I'm not one to speak on it. The ending was fine, the characters were fine. The setting was kind of funny to me just because I used to live near some of the places they brought up, so it was just kinda weird to keep reading about it. 
If you can't do incorrect spelling/grammar I probably would say skip this one. 


Crying score: nah

Wow that was wild start to finish! Nonstop suspense from the first page. The scenes in the crawl space were nightmare level but overall such a thrilling read!

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 felt like an episode of I Survived, and I loved every bit of it. It's a 4 star read due to the fact that the ending felt rushed - as intense as the rest of the story was, I was expecting a reap banger of a conclusion. However, we were handed a happy ending wrapped in a nice little package - even if the wrapping was rushed and its missing its bow. 

All in all, a fast paced, heart in your throat thriller that I couldn't devour fast enough. I look forward to reading more from this author!
