Thrilling and addictive, this book had me hooked from the first page. The writing was quick and mysterious, always making me beg for more to be revealed. I found the beginning to be kind of slow and the end to be wrapped up too quickly, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Come for the intense sisterly conflict, stay for the in-depth investigations of an accomplice’s psyche.

 A tense, quick thriller that will have you frustrated and engaged from page one. I loved that it was told in short vignettes; it kept the pacing up as well as gave you nuggets of information one at a time. I was frustrated by the characters, but it also all made sense. Definitely a must read!
