The Overnight Guest kept me up late last night finishing it! It's a multiple POV/timeline mystery thriller about a girl who survives her family being murdered but her best friend is abducted. It really hooked me from the beginning and kept a hold of me. I loved discovering how the POVs collided. Such a fast paced, thrilling read!
