Was a good read. Liked the plot and the alternance between the past and the present! The ending was a bit deceiving in its lack of twist. Otherwise, I liked reading it and did it in one sitting!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I was immediately drawn into this book from the start all the way through to the end! This is my first book from B.A. Paris and I'll definitely be trying more.

Amelie has been in survival mode for most of her life. This book is mainly focused on her marriage to a billionaire that turns way deadlier and more dangerous than she could have imagined when she is kidnapped and locked in a dark room for weeks because of her husband's unsavory dealings.

Again, this book had me hooked the whole way through. It was somewhat awkward when about 75% of the way through I thought the book was wrapping up but it just kept going. The ending wasn't bad, I just didn't super love how it was executed. I recommend!
