This book was incredible and I t had me guessing up until the very end. From beginning to end I was drawn into the story, and as soon as secrets started getting exposed I didn’t know who or what to believe. While the twist ending wasn’t a huge shock, I still enjoyed the book as a whole and I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a quick mild thriller.

Meh. I didn't feel very compelled to figure out the answers or really connected to the characters. Not bad per se, but just not much that drew me.
