I might get some heat for this, but this one was almost a DNF until about 65/70% of the way in. The writing style was hard for me to get in to. I felt like I was originally getting so much back story that I kept getting lost in what was actually going on. I’m happy we got the POV from Claire and Lydia, but it all bounced all over the place a little bit. 

The ending was really great though. I love when the bad guy gets what they deserve in stories like this. There were definitely parts that hit parts of my emotions that took my by surprise. 

One thing I really think would’ve helped the book were shorter chapters. I find I read books much faster if the chapters are shorter. Not sure why, but it helps!
