This was a book that just kept on giving. This isn't the fastest paced thriller I have read, but it keeps you wanting more; the short chapters definitely worked in the books favour. The characters were all well crafted, and I really felt for the main character Helen. Parts of the plot were slightly predictable, which I actually think this worked in the books favour, as it made the more shocking twists pack a bigger punch. The only thing I would say is that this book could have been shorter, and still have been just as great.

It took longer reading this book than I would have liked and I think it’s because I felt as if it dragged on. The pages itself were longer than I anticipated & I guessed a few plot points here and there. Helen deserved better and so did Katie. Nothing was bad writing wise, I just couldn’t stand most of the main male characters minus a few of the newspaper / police characters.
