3.5 STARS!

This was a doozy, Kiersten Modglin is the queen of twists & turns! Speaking of which, WHAT A CREEP!!!! This story is one of my nightmares, and it's totally possible this day and age!

This was a bit predictable, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

52/100 
- I think I did this book a disservice by listening through Audible. Would have given it 2 stars but that could’ve been just because I just didn’t love the narrator.
- Frustration was mostly because of Addie. (In my opinion at least) going way overboard at certain things/not listening to Wes, and then completely abandoning reason and
letting a complete (almost) stranger drug her husband into a stupor because he said so.
- The ending was decent - the twist that he was after Rory instead of Addie was extra creepy.

- Random: I pictured Elias as Ethan Slater and the mother-in-law as Joanna Lumley (thanks to Motherland).

Oh dear. This one started off really promising but what on earth?! Very, very predictable and unbelievable twist. Once I’d guessed the twist, I figured I must’ve been wrong because it was so nonsensical.
How was a 32 year old man masquerading as a 14 year old???????
