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!

Great, quick read! This book catapulted me out of my reading slump. The action started immediately and didn't let up for a second. Very fun read for something quick and exciting.

It's my first ever book from this author & it nailed the thriller element on the head. I could feel the fear from the characters, the gore, the horror of it all - AMAZING. Some scenes were rather graphic, and there were times when I cringed in horror of it. 

I also will not recommend reading this while snacking because I did & I immediately lost my appetite. 

It's a fast paged thriller. Definitely a good-for-her vibe, and you're rooting for the main character the whole time. But I will say that at one point there was just too much ramblings about the protagonist's train of thoughts that made it VERY repetitive. I'm sure I skipped quite a bit of pages of that because I get it - YOU'RE SCARED, now move along. 

All in all, the ending was satisfying!!!!!! Just what I needed after the traumatic ordeal they went through. Would probably be better if translated into a film.
