This. Was. Incredible.

This book was recommended to me by an instagram follower and I went into it completely blind - didn’t even read the blurb. WOW! It tackles some heavy topics (human trafficking, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse) so it’s terribly disturbing at points.

Highly recommend!

This story was so suspenseful that I wanted to throw up. It’s an excellent book that I never want to read again.

This was definitely a page-turner, and I loved that ending. It starts bit slow and is pretty repetitive, so I considered DNFing, but it was short so I held on. The ending was worth it.

Something was off though that I can't put my finger on.

Lots of possible triggers here: kidnapping, rape, torture just to name a few.

I believe there were two huge plot holes. With all the talk of Jane the first (the mother) and Jane the second (the wife), I really want to know for sure what happened to them.

A big thanks to the author, the publisher, and netgalley for a copy of the arc.
