This was my first book by Robyn and it won’t be the last!

I loved her writing style so much!
This book gave me the uneasy feeling, is so twisty, suspenseful and a fast paced thriller that you should read now!

Highly recommend.

3.5⭐️ The first half of this book was great - grabbed my attention right away and kept me wanting to know more about these two women. The second half? Meh. I did like the ending and I enjoyed the back and forth perspectives of the two main characters. Sometimes the writing felt like a lot of short, choppy sentences, but maybe that’s just me being picky. Some parts of the story felt like “filler” or “fluff” (mostly the relationships of characters with their family or previous relationships- Lee, Carter, Ben) as none of them really seemed to add to the plot. However, overall, this book was a page-turner and very entertaining.

I was so into this for the first half, but the second half completely lost me.
