I read this book in one day because I simply could not put it down! From the very first page I was intrigued and on edge. The author did an amazing job of immersing you in the story— I felt the anxiety, fear and suspense that the main character felt the entire time! In the first half I felt frustrated with the characters and how predictable it was, but as the story unfolded in the second half I realized I was being tricked just the main character. Every time I thought I knew what the truth was, things got flipped upside down and I was questioning everything all over again.
This truly was a wild ride and I highly recommend you take your blood pressure meds before reading!

WHEW this book INFURIATED me. There's nothing that gets my goat more a woman not being believed. But I liked it very much, and I really wanted to get to the end. Def stayed up too late listening to it. Ooh it takes quite a storyteller to make me want to have a Spongebob-level freakout. Excited to read this author again.
