Really enjoyable read, but with such a small cast of characters it was kind of easy to guess who the bad guy was going to be. I can’t say I was surprised by any of the “twists” in the final act but it was still a great time.

LOVED this book and I wish I read it sooner! Reminded me of Karin Slaughter’s writing style and instantly obsessed. The pace, build up, mystery, twists- all fantastic and had me on the edge of my seat. Diving into book #2 immediately!

This was disappointing - boring and repetitive until the end at which point it kind of devolves into an action movie with a reveal that I didn't predict only because I thought that it would be too obvious. The cliffhanger was kind of interesting though.
