Like the other book in this series, this had lots of twists and turns, many of which I didn’t anticipate. It was interesting and vicious and terrifyingly possible. The characters are a bit unloveable but complex and intriguing.

another win in the Freida McFadden department. this book was amazing, and of course had me hooked from the beginning. i’m obsessed with the fact that she never fails to write twists that you NEVER see coming!! can’t wait to start another read by her.

5.0

Wow this book is absolutely incredible! I started it without reading the first novel in the series, but it can be read as a standalone book. Twist after twist after twist.

Holy crap. One of the best thrillers I've ever read and even surpassing her first book, McFadden includes so many twists and turns here that just keeps you glued to the page. The characters are interesting and well developed, showing darker natures exactly when McFadden needs them to. The mystery will keep you guessing the entire book. I usually don't like thrillers and I was hooked. This is an excellent free time read!

I didn’t like this one as much as the first because I found this one to be way more predictable. Over it was enjoyable and I liked it and it was a good sequel, just not my fav.
