I don't really know where to start with this. It starts off as your typical mystery, Isaac Greer goes missing. But here's the catch, he survived a cat accident with Jules where her son died instead of him. This makes him loose his mind with survivors guilt. Then all of a sudden he's gone. Was he kidnapped? Did Jules take him? Did he run away? You don't know until the end. And that ride is insane to say the least. But the twists really started near the end. It felt like everything just hit me all at once. It was good, but also like extremely weird. My jaw was left open the entire time at the end. And honestly the end of the book just made me dislike every single character. But it was good and kept me guessing. And I honestly did not expect the ending at all.

Check trigger warnings on this one. The summary description isn’t all that accurate to what actually played out. The ending felt rushed and all wrapped up with unnecessary shock value.
