I’m usually not too harsh when it comes to my book reviews, but this one was a tough read. It really dragged and put me into a reading slump, which usually never happens. There was really only one good twist that made me want to finish it, but that was after I was over halfway through with this book. I usually crave reading and can’t wait to get home to pick back up whatever I was reading the night before, but I honestly skipped reading most nights because of this book. I had to see it through until the end though. I enjoyed the premise of this book, but it was so slow, and so underwhelming for a book that was supposed to be a thriller.

I hated this book.  I was expecting a thriller but it’s more horror.  It seems that he is trying to tell the story from Abigail’s perspective but it missed the mark for me.  The women are stereotyped and very one dimensional.  I found his writing style strange and redundant. 

  The end of the book verges on murder porn.  It was evident from early on the husband is in on it and hired “Scottie” to test Abigail.  Even with all the plot twists and plot holes (who edited this book?!?) the story was predictable.  The only unknown was if Abigail would survive.  I should have just googled the ending to find out. 

Don’t waste your time.  I should have DNF’ed this one.
