What I loved were the twists! As each reveal came I was left more and more shocked, but these were done in the perfect way so that I felt it made sense in retrospect. The chapters were short and easy to breeze through which helped make the pacing feel quicker than I had anticipated. The setting for most of the story is in the Scottish Highlands during a winter storm with such vivid descriptions I felt like I was there.
What I wasn’t a fan of was that the ending left me wondering what would come next, and I wish that had been flushed out just a little more. Nonetheless, I still found overall the story to have a satisfying ending.
I really needed this book! After reading quite a few books that just didn’t work, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. I would absolutely recommend this if you’re a domestic thriller reader in look for something quick to dive into.

I liked the atmosphere and the premise. I didn't enjoy most of the book. The end was cool but if I didn't enjoy the ride and I only like the end I don't think it's a very good book. It was also hard because the female narrator for the audiobook didn't change voices for different characters. Maybe I would have liked this better if I listened to it.
This book had so much potential to be a 5 star read. I loved the plot twist, totally did not see it coming. But it has such a slow start and the ending was a bit of a let down.
