I inhaled this book, it was so much fun to read. 

I found it pretty predictable but I also did not care, it was so dark and twisty I loved it.

This book was phenomenal and is now my favorite thriller. I have never been so captivated. I just had to know what was going on! It frightened me and intrigued me in equal measure. The audiobook was done fantastically as well. The ending was everything. I can’t even think of anything I wish would have been different about it besides missing Josie’s POV at the end a little. Although I understand why it disappeared. I was surprised by the crime. and I loved it!!!

4.0

Excellent audiobook. I am picky with what books I enjoy in audio format, and this one certainly enhanced the experience. Full cast and production.
The story itself is gripping and dark. Great for fans of mystery and thriller.
