Loved the writing, the tense exposition, the setting, and the concept! I guessed some of the twists, which wasn't a bad thing.

What I didn't like was the internal back and forth whiplash towards the end (way too much back and forth) and how it started with great feminist leanings but *spoiler* the only other female in the story ends up being the villain. Boooo.

Overall, a decent read. I would read this author again.

“Based on a terrifying true story, that hasn’t happened - yet.”
Struggling former actress Adele can’t resist when she is offered the lead role in the upcoming thriller Final Draft. However, when she arrives on set, deep in the forest with no cell service and only a skeleton crew, she wonders if she made a horrible mistake. Soon Adele’s real life starts mimicking the mysterious events from the script, a story about a woman who spends the weekend in a cabin in the woods, while reading a book about a woman who was spending a weekend in the woods. As more and more terrifying events occur, Adele starts questioning her own sanity, and if she still has time to run...

A story within a story within a story, yikes! This story had so many twists and turns, I couldn’t put it down! Very creative and brilliantly written, this definitely will not be my last book by Catherine Ryan Howard. Run Time releases today, so make sure to run out and grab your copy now!

Special thanks to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for sharing an ARC with me in exchanged for my honest review.
