This book was really really heavy and should have a HUGE content warnings on it. ⚠️ Rape, kidnapping, physical abuse⚠️ 

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.

Just amazing. If you’ve read Still Missing you’ll like this one too. It’s so gut-wrenching and visceral but it is just a book that you won’t forget. Chevy Stevens is becoming one of my favorite authors
