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.

Finished in one day. I guess that says something! While so much of the story is a little out there, it’s definitely a page turner. The timeline is all over the place, but it’s done so well. 

I’m not sure I’d hand this one to my daughter just yet (mature 13yo). There is so much going on; seek out trigger warnings and HEED them for sure. Child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, just straight up violence, the list goes on. Most of it is closed door, especially the sexual abuse with the victim as young as 10yo, but it’s extremely clear that it is going on. It’s all far-fetched but also real enough that you’d need to follow up with some heavy conversations with your teen.

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.
