I read this book in one sitting it was well written and had me on the edge of my seat! The characters were well built and there was one message in the book that I couldn't help but identify with. Great book if you like intense what is going to happen next type books!

I really enjoyed this book and there were definitely some plot twists I wasn't expecting. I definitely thought things were going a little to smoothly for Rachel in the beginning considering what was going on but that changed a bit. It really makes you question exactly what you would do to save your loved ones.

WHY so many thrillers have to end with this predictable "look how everything is so over the top great for the characters now" 😑
