This was a fairly dark thriller. I liked it but it was grittier than I expected going in. Overall, I think if you don't mind a bit of trauma as you read a thriller, this is a good choice. It kept me guessing to a point. The identification of the villain was no surprise but that didn't ruin the book for me - I still wanted to know how it ends. I liked the characters and I thought it was a well-written fast paced thriller. Recommended if you're ok with a bit more detailed trauma than most thrillers coming out these days. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur books for this ARC!
