The first part of the book, though heavy, was really good and incredibly tense. If the book had continued with part 1 I think I would have give it a higher rating.
The second part of the book, to me felt incredibly improbable and would never happen in real life so it was hard to read and actually care.
Overall this book was good, but could have been better for part 2.

All of this feels extremely like an irresponsible way to use this typical thriller trope. Their victimization history should not be used this way. It should not be framed as something that will catch up with them eventually. And to put them in a situation to make the same decisions and lead them back to that situation feels like a lazy way to engage with the idea of being re-victimized.
Overall, while I understand what the book is trying to do, I feel like it was done irresponsibly.

How have I slept on Chevy Stevens for all these years?! This book was textbook suspense. The characters were so well developed. The writing short, succinct. There wasn’t a single word there that didn’t need to be. The structure was brilliant, taking us to the past, future, through two POV’s.
Brilliant. Lovely. I’m an instant fan.
