One of the least brutal (?) of the Slaughter's book, but nonetheless intriguing and suspenseful. 

The novel goes between Jane and Andrea, who tries to discover her mother's true identity that caused her to go on the run. Andrea's growth was refreshing and cathartic to witness as it comes to light in the climax. And Jane's story intertwines with Andrea's backstory well. 

The plot twists were predictable and didn't have the gut punch like Pretty Girls (rip it out of my cold dead hands that this is one of Slaughter's greatest books). However, it was done in a masterful and emotional way that I let it slide. 

I was blind sided when Slaughter released a sequel to this novel so NOW I gotta go and read it. But, I am very excited for what she puts next for Andrea. 

4 /5 B-

3.0

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. Like I was wondering why that happened. But then the flashbacks happened and I was bored and didn’t care. I felt we didn’t need all that. Also it was very plot twisty which was a bummer. Also the main character was honestly annoying and stupid. This is the least graphic of her books so if you don’t like really disturbing things this might be the now to pick up from her.
