I don't have the words to explain how incredible this book was and how it impacted me. All I will say is that it was a harrowing and masterfully written story that gripped me from beginning to end.

Wow. I guessed the outcome of this pretty early on, but not completely. My jaw dropped at the twist and it was so deftly executed. Absolutely amazing and hard to read at times.
