This was a great thriller/mystery. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me wondering what was going to happen next! I could mostly predict what would happen, but I found myself dumb founded in the middle of this book. We already knew what happened to Amy by halfway through, so I was wondering what could possibly happen now? Boy I was not ready for what happened, and the ending was such a cliffhanger!
