Ella Santos is kidnapped as a child and lived, later renamed Laine, who has a uncanny resemblance to Olivia who was also kidnapped—we think by the same man— and now to prove her innocence in the case she has to help the detective that was her childhood crush ever since he rescued her from that dingy basement over a decade ago.
5 ⭐️’s but only on a technicality ..I actually knew what was going to happen in the end but this had so many twists and turns it was so fun to read! I found myself gasping and turning the pages much faster with every chapter. I like how the main character and the reader got involved with solving the mystery

Very good book. Some parts were a little slow moving but it was always followed by an unexpected twist. Was not expecting that ending!

Hard to get through, not because of the protagonist's experiences, but more their woe-is-me, everyones-out-to-get-me attitude. I didn't see the twist coming, but really the only good chapters were the last handful. A lot happened and I couldn't put it down near the end, but the first 3/4 of the book was a struggle.

The FMC was atrocious. None of the characters were super likable. The plot had holes.

"Psychological thriller" my arse. A cliche of a novel I almost couldn't be bothered to finish once I'd found out who had done it and how unbelievably ridiculous it was.

I'd wanted something light and fluffy after Dispossessed. Sadly, my giant pile of books includes zero light and fluffy at the moment, so I picked this one. It is the opposite of light and fluffy. It is dark and gritty and disturbing.
When Ella was 10, she was kidnapped. She was found on the side of the road 3 years later, bleeding, scarred and pregnant. Her assailant was never found. Ten years later, another girl has been taken. A girl who looks a lot like her.
Ella has become Laine in an attempt to move on with her life. But she has had a really hard time. She is barely getting by and has developed a pretty severe drug habit to cope with the trauma of her childhood. She tries to block things out but when little Olivia goes missing, she is determined to keep her from going what she went through.
This book is tough. It speaks of trauma and child abuse and how hard it is just to breathe sometimes. I didn't necessarily like it but I couldn't put it down. But there is a sense of hope and redemption in the end.

Leaning between a 3 and 4, so giving this a firm 3.5. I loved the unreliable narrator, but I can’t decide if I felt misdirected during the book because of the unreliable narrator or if it was just a case of mediocre writing. The one thing I loved about the story was that I never knew what was going on, I was totally shocked at this outcome.

Really Good!
This book was quite a good surprise. Every time I had to stop reading, I couldn't wait to pick it back up and get it all figured out. I especially enjoyed the unpredictability of the story.
