This book certainly had a twist I wasn’t expecting. It was enjoyable to read and definitely lures you in further and further. 

Would recommend to anyone who does enjoy thrillers and fans of Frieda McFadden.

Great thriller! As a single woman this one has me not wanting to date anytime soon! It had such a good story line and I really didn’t expect the plot! I was a little confused by the character names in the beginning but they all tied in together very shortly after. Great quick read.

Freida does it again! I had so many different predictions throughout the story. I liked the 2 POVs with before / present (similar to Never Lie - my first & favorite Freida book). The FMC did upset me with her poor life decisions but it added to the character development. The twists just kept coming & made the story so exciting! Don’t want to spoil it but OMFG I didn’t see that ending 😱. This book really kept me guessing. Note: I listened to the audiobook and the voice actor(s) did very well!

A lot of things felt really like a twist just to be different from what the reader expects.

I think the characters are interesting enough, but the ‘villain’ made no sense and was somewhat unbelievable. The ending too was just kind of awful. I think it sets up a second book well. Part of my dislike was because the characters weren’t fleshed out well, so their chemistry is somewhat unbelievable.

I really wish I could read every Freida McFadden book as if I‘d never read another book written by her. Then I probably wouldn’t see the plot twists coming

Audiobook. 4.25/5 stars

Fast, captivating listen! I did kind of predict how it would end, but as always, Freida McFadden has a way of keeping you guessing the entire book.

The final twist got me, but I didn't like the main character. She felt too flippant about the whole "murderer on the loose" thing for my patience, lol.
