i got this book as well as the entire series as a gift this past holiday season and listen: i really didn't expect to get into it as much as i did but i actually really liked this. the premise is interesting, the writing was well done, and most of the characters felt believable (minus the serial killer husband - he's giving michael myers levels of power and unstoppability coupled with a mind that rivals the combined sick and twistedness of the worst of the worst serial killers you know). i got really attached to gwen and her kids and teared up a lot whenever things were going awry or people didn't believe her because i could clearly feel gwen's distress and fear and anger. the emotions felt so real and raw. i'm so surprised how hooked i was and honestly can't wait to read more of this series. hopefully it continues to be this good!
