I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

I liked the characters. I was invested in the main character's backstory and her relationships with the people close to her, but didn't really care about the rest of the plot. Apparently, this book is part of a duology, but I can't see myself reading the second book.

Its rather heavy on the domestic/sexual abuse. Its also based around being hostages in a bank robbery.
