Wow.

From the moment that I started this book, I found myself completely drawn in.

It follows Hannah in 2 time periods, the past and the present. Having alternate chapters really helped to tell this story, showing how the situation actually unfolded and then the aftermath.

To be honest, I did not actually see that reveal coming. There were so many twists through out but I stuck by my original theory of who the killer was. The obvious answer isn’t always so obvious…

I thoroughly enjoyed this and I highly recommend it!

 The narrator was amazing, and overall the story was good. But I knew who the killer was very early on. I didn't know how or the why, but I knew it. So I did like finding out the how and why, plus I thought the MC being pregnant at the time of the time when the story starts to be interesting, added an extra element. But overall just meh.
