This was marketed as a ‘young adult’ thriller, but it felt just as readable for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers. 

I found this to be a very quick read, which was exactly what I was looking for. The story was full of suspense and perhaps I’m an idiot, but I didn’t see the twist at the end coming. I was shocked reading those 3 words from Drew. 

The only character I didn’t like was the Sheriff, I was disappointed he didn’t get a well deserved kick up the a**. I’ve probably watched too many True Crime documentaries with corrupt or negligent police. 

A good book for a reading slump but possibly the wrong book for any paranoid parents.

This book gutted me. Can’t believe it’s the authors first book. Language could use some work in terms of wording but the plot was amazing and she never failed to have my attention from the very first line
