I overall enjoyed the book. It has a decent pace, I liked the twist, and it had a lot of emotions specially for this genre. I wanted more action from a thriller, it felt like the twist and main action piece from the twist was really rushed and didn’t have time to develop the way it should have. I would recommend this book to someone who loves an emotional mystery.

Fun twisty thriller, didn't see the end coming! The alternating POVs of Marissa and Avery work really well.

A decent thriller, even though I picked some of the (smaller) twists and was a little annoyed when the dual POV approach ended up with some repetitive moments. But I didn't guess the biggest twists, and it had the type of ending I prefer - no loose ends.

I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

 I liked it. It dragged on for a little bit but I thought the plot twist was clever and I didn't see it coming.
