What really sold me on the 5-star rating was the ending. I enjoyed how it was almost a psychological thriller - Gwen literally cannot trust anyone, but she also knows she can't keep ripping up her kids, moving from town to town. But is staying in one place truly safe...?
The last 15% was so jam-packed with tension and action written so well, I could picture it crystal clear in my head. I was clinging to every word, reading furiously to see what would happen. This book also struck me as feminist, which I enjoyed. While I still have some questions regarding certain characters, they don't detract from the overall experience and my questions might be answered in the next book.

I liked this opener to the series. The characters felt real and there were many tense moments. Would have liked more of an explanation into why the culprit did what they did but I guess that will come from reading more of the series. I will definitely continue :)
