5.0

Halfway through this book, I mentally took away a star or two for what seemed to confirm the obvious story resolution.

By the end, I gave all the stars back for the unexpected twists.

Chloe is living with the trauma of her childhood, and often her own brain gaslights her into suspicions of those closest to her. As she navigates what seems to be a serial killer copycat of her own imprisoned father, her trust falters for almost everyone around her.

Overall, this is a quick and engaging read and a definite recommendation for anyone with a love of thrillers.
