4.0

It was the kind of book you must read multiple times to fully understand the connections and plot/storyline. Overall, it was a great book and I totally recommend it for those wanting a physiological thriller. |/\|

Moderate: Torture, Kidnapping, and Stalking

the end was confusing as the book flips between Flora's and Heather's and Jess's POV and the end (just to clear anything up) it was Heather that killed the Wilsons, not Flora. Flora was just covering up for Heather.

Very enjoyable book. Slightly slow at the start, but once you get into it it is quite a page-turner. Interesting narrative switching from POV.

I am so surprised by the ending. The epilogue giving the final twist that she did indeed shoot her kidnappers.  I did not see it coming that they kidnapped her and drugged her! Wow.
