At first it was just a few moments of "that's not how that works" then it was her spelling out a major theme halfway through (don't worry she later spelled out the rest if the themes) then it was violence against women to try to make a feminist point and then it was a rather nonsensical ending.

I am not sure what to rate this one. I had high expectations based on the blurb but after finishing the book I was left disappointed. The beginning was great, the mystery behind the girls in the woods was intriguing but after they were rescued everything slowed down for me. I lost interest in the story until we discovered shocking details about Rhi past at the end. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad book but I didn’t think it was great either. Just OK for me.

Thank you NetGalley, Dreamscape Select and the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
