While there weren’t any major twists so to speak, the premise and its execution were fantastic overall! Highly recommend reading this if you can stomach the heavy subject matter discussed including nature of the fictionalized crimes.
Moderate: Gun violence, Murder, Rape, Stalking, and Sexual assault

A cleverly told story where Howard managed to keep that suspense and mystery going; there were still times where I knew things were going to happen, and they did, but it was written in a way that still held my interest, which is a rarity. A book about a book? With murder? Where the murderer is still at large? Yes please!
I'll be going back for more of Howard's work to see if they're equally good!

This book was brilliant and unlike any other thriller I’ve ever read. The set up of getting to see both the survivor’s and the actual perpetrator’s point of view was so incredibly unique and raised the stakes from page one. Home invasion is one of my number one fears so this book often left me feeling freaked out (especially reading it at night). It’s safe to say the author is good at her job as I definitely won’t be getting much sleep tonight.
