This was sooo fast paced and fun to read, and I REALLY wanted it to be a 5 star read, but in the end it did disappoint a bit. I wish there was more of a plot twist. Personally, I figured out the storyline just by reading the back of the book even before starting to actually read it. I was really wishing that there would be more to it, but in the end there wasn’t anything shocking revealed. The only twist I didn’t see coming was
that Hanna was seeing Theo
, and that wasn’t one bit significant to the storyline whatsoever, actually just a bit confusing why the author put that in there. There were some similar details in the book that just didn’t bear any significance and were a bit unnecessary. 

I feel like the writing was very good and I couldn’t put it down, was really intrigued. But it wasn’t a psychological thriller to me, more just like a devastating story about
a child being kidnapped and abused
.
