I had about half of the ending figured out, especially the "big reveal". So it was just meh on that front, but it was still an enjoyable book. The characters weren't very likable even the main MC, she was just soo clueless! I did like the atmosphere and that stuff. I would have liked to get to know other characters besides Amelie better, we don't get much about anyone else.

I’ve read every one of B.A. Paris’ books. I enjoyed this one as I did the others. This book was not as suspenseful as “Behind Closed Doors or The Breakdown, but it still grabbed my attention the whole way through. The character was younger than the normal lead characters in her books. She was smart, strong and beautifully  vulnerable. I was 80/20 happy about the ending. 80 being the happy/content part. The author stuck to her authentic type of  writing leaving a plot twist at the end. That’s probably why I can accept it. Paris is consistent. I thought for sure the storyline was going to go an absolute different way. That’s what I love about Paris’ books. You are always guessing. 99% of the time her endings are what you least expect as the outcome
