This book was straight up addictive! I would sit down in the morning to read it and then find myself already having read like 100 pages. This is a book you just can’t stop reading! It is dark, twisted, and heartbreaking. I told you guys before that I just haven’t found a thriller that I genuinely enjoyed, well this book finally broke the cycle. 

I loved that it was broken up into parts and I loved getting a blast from the past throughout. I did predict one of the twists, and I say this all the time, but I suck at guessing twists lol so I can’t decide if me guessing correctly was disappointing or if I am proud of myself 😂 So prepare for me to go back and forth with my rating for days lol I also think the end was a little rushed, but I still think it was really good! 

I’ve only read one other book by this author and loved that one as well! Jennifer Hillier is for sure an auto-buy author of mine now. I need them all 🤩 1,000% recommend this book but definitely check TW’s because it gets dark in some parts!

Wow. This was such a fantastic read! Very emotional and challenging at times. I feel like I would have liked to know more about Kiser’s back story.

I didn’t put the pieces together about Geo’s son until right when Kiser & Kim were. I will say, I didn’t really like that Kiser and Geo end up together. Maybe it’s petty of me, but I didn’t think Geo deserved a truly happy ending. She didn’t deserve a horrible one, but idk, just felt wrong.

PLEASE read the trigger warnings before you start this book and be aware if you have any of them. I didn’t and had to put it down a couple times to process the
