This was written well, and I enjoyed the mystery! I guessed a couple of the twists, but there were several I didn’t see coming!!

I’d definitely recommend this book to any thriller lover. I hit a point where I simply could not put it down. I enjoyed the way Kimberly set-up the story. Very suspenseful!
