Really enjoyable read, but with such a small cast of characters it was kind of easy to guess who the bad guy was going to be. I can’t say I was surprised by any of the “twists” in the final act but it was still a great time.

LOVED this book and I wish I read it sooner! Reminded me of Karin Slaughter’s writing style and instantly obsessed. The pace, build up, mystery, twists- all fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat. Diving into book #2 immediately!

This was disappointing - boring and repetitive until the end at which point it kind of devolves into an action movie with a reveal that I didn't predict only because I thought that it would be too obvious. The cliffhanger was kind of interesting though.

The atmosphere in this book was so tense that I had to stop reading every once in a while because it really got to me. Really well done! I loved the main character’s voice and really felt like I was inside her head. All her decisions made sense and I was as scared and paranoid as she was. You could say I guessed some twists but that was mostly because I didn’t trust anybody we met along the way, so of course some of those ‘this person is bad’ guesses were going to be correct… The last few chapters really made my heart race. I listened to this on audio and the audio was well done too. Definitely continuing this series!
