Ok, that was mostly my emotions haha, but seriously it was soooo good in sooo many different ways. I mean the plot twists kept twisting left and right! One moment I had made conclusions and in the next moment I had to erase all the ideas formulating in my head, because there were other things at hand, evidence that pointed in all sorts of directions. And omggg the way I was mentally screaming at the fmc (arghhh I want to cryyy)!!! I thought her soooo dumb and stupid for some of the decisions she made, but somehow all of that stupidity worked out and I was so glad for her initial dumb decisions XD. At other times, she made smart moves that definitely did not work for her and made me understand why she continued to resort to those dumb ones lol. As for the ending, I did not see it coming at. all. whatsoever. You know, throughout the book I thought i was the smart one, because I thought I had figured mystery books out...LMAO I was soooo wrong - I definitely DO NOT have them figured out >_< .
Anyway, go read this. Like right now.

By the end, I gave all the stars back for the unexpected twists.
Chloe is living with the trauma of her childhood, and often her own brain gaslights her into suspicions of those closest to her. As she navigates what seems to be a serial killer copycat of her own imprisoned father, her trust falters for almost everyone around her.
Overall, this is a quick and engaging read and a definite recommendation for anyone with a love of thrillers.
