THIS FREAKING BOOK WAS SOO DAMN GOOD!!! I guessed wrong a couple times, but finding out who did it my God, I was shocked. This book kept me hooked the entire way through. There wasn't a chapter I was bored reading. Karin writes the most disturbing, dark and detailed books I have ever read. I eat it up everytime! What is wrong with me? Lol. She knows how to write a damn thriller. I could picture everything in my head so clearly even at times where i wish i hadn't. I loved the characters and can't wait to see how they play out in the rest of the series. At the moment Sara and Jeffrey have my heart.  I'm mad I didn't pick this up sooner. I love how the first book in this series started so strong and my hopes are high for the rest. Read the trigger warnings for sure before going into any of her books.

I really did enjoy this book. I found myself getting all giddy while reading about their love story. When I was done with the book, I felt like I needed more drama for a rival to lover romance. I thought they fell for each other too quick imo. But all in all I did still really like it.

I loved this book from start to finish. I really enjoyed the relationship the sisters shared. It had me hooked from the first few chapters. I finished it in one day. That ending had my jaw on the floor.
