Thought process: 
* So predictable, it's obvious who the killer was. 
* OMG I was right. 
* Plot twist, nope I was wrong. 
* Another plot twist OMG I was right. 
* Another twist WTF I was not expecting who the other person was behind everything. 

Definitely binged this book! I started it yesterday and finished it today. Her books definitely get you hooked quickly and make it to where you can never put it down

Felt like I was reading some adult version of I know What You Did Last Summer. Most of the book was mediocre, and the reveal was almost laughable, but the last chapter, the epilogue of what really happened after the reveal, gave me chills.

Only thing I can’t figure out is whether Shane and Brooke are related. They share a father, so yeah, but then why are the characters treated as if they weren’t half-siblings? Very confused!

  • This was by far my favorite book from Freida out of the 4 I’ve read so far!!
  • There was so much suspense and mystery and I loved the past and present POVs where the details were revealed little by little.
  • This was one of those thrillers that I was so sure was going to be disappointing because the killer couldn’t have been more obvious but by the end I had to just sit there for 5 minutes trying to process what just happened because I was in SHOCK. I didn’t see any of that coming and it’s definitely one of my favorite twists!
  • Also, that last line???? It was another twist I wasn’t expecting and it’s definitely going to haunt me.
  • If you loved Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier, I’d highly recommend this because it reminded me of it with the way that the MC’s ex is the suspected killer and they both have pretty shocking endings. I can’t wait to read more by this author and I’m already trying to decide what’ll be my next read!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. 

Just when I thought I had figured out the book and what actually happened, here comes Freida McFadden with ANOTHER twist. There was like 3 twists at the end. Such a wild ride, and I loved every minute of it.

 This book had my garmin watch telling me I needed to chill out... My stress levels were through the roof! And the ending...... Don't even get me started on the ending..... I was not expecting any of that!!! The Inmate had me second guessing myself and the Freida McFadden the entire time. Such a good suspense read!

A night of drinking with friends during a storm with no adults, what’s the worst that can happen? Other than the fact that one of them is a murderer! Fast forward ten years later and our MC Brooke is working at the same prison as the man convicted as trying to kill her and murdering her friends that fateful night. 

In traditional Freida McFadden fashion everything isn’t as it seems and once you think you have everything figured out, think again! 
I also love the way Freida can make you hate certain characters like the main character and find them very annoying but yet you love the book! That is excellent writing.
