I enjoyed this thriller. I wish that we got to see what happened to William though. The ending was rushed. My biggest complaint was the reader. Mattie was just one dimensional. The reader was hysterical all the time.

the restless nights I had dreaming that I was being chased. This book was INTENSE. 
I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. Mattie's development, the intense emotions I felt from fear to pity to sadness to fear again. It was very well written. 
I think the only thing I would change was C.P.'s seemingly lack of depth and the somewhat unsatisfactory end. There was a little something missing. Maybe C.P. could have been killed too haha
