This was the book version of a Criminal Minds episode! I loved that I was constantly on my toes and wondering what was going to happen next. Some books that switch from past to present each chapter end up losing me, but the author did a great job with the transitions. I often read books that require a lot of “thinking”, so this was a good palette cleanse! I found myself unable to put it down on several occasions. 

I would recommend this book to a friend!

I really enjoyed this book so much it had so many twist and turns though out the whole book which keeps you so invested in the story and what’s going to happen. I didn’t expect the story of the book to go as it did and I didn’t expect who the killers were or that it was a family affair which really made this book more interesting to read. I am so so glad that the parents managed to get the child back at the end of the book. But I didn’t expect the book to end on a cliffhanger like it did as the one of the main characters is carrying on the bad deeds and been like his parents and showing his son the dead body’s was very creepy. The characters were all written so well and all the characters worked really well together in this story and they all made the book that more enjoyable as the different povs though out the book make it more interesting and add to the story a lot lot more.
