This book was a crazy experience. Surreal. Absolutely unreal.

I have just finished reading and I don't even have the words to explain how amazing this whole thing was. I just sat and binge-read the last 200 pages in on sitting.

First of all, the plot of this book?! Holly, how do you even think of something like this? I would have NEVER guessed what was going to happen. I couldn't put it down. It was such a page-turner! 

Also, Pip's character development? What the heck? It was so well-written and the way she had the realization was super crazy.

I don't think I can put the level of amazingness of this book into words, you'll just have to read it yourself.

This was truly a mindblowing experience. This is definitely a 6 star read for me! I recommend you read it 100%!

Wow! I did not guess the ending at all! To be honest, there was no way for the reader to guess why Jamie was taken but you could guess the players involved.

I knew it was suspicious that Stanley was paying Howie off in the first book but I didn’t think she would bring that up in the second book! Good on her. Also I can’t believe Stanley is the child of a serial killer. I did guess that Flora and Charlie were Layla.

What a great ending.
