This was a compelling story! The unexpected reveals and twists made the story very unique. I enjoyed the narration of this book, especially the voice of Ellie Black. The author also emphasized the message of vulnerability and lack of protection when it comes to young girls. Overall, I really enjoyed this book!

5.0

I read this book in one sitting! It is one of the best thrillers I've read. The ending was completely unexpected from me on all accounts. The last 50 pages are *something* so be prepared to eliminate distractions to finish.
