Madre mía, como me he gozado este libro! Intrigadísima de principio a fin, me ha gustado muchísimo! El set up, los personajes, los plot twist… cuando sospechas de algo, la autora viene y te pone otra idea en mente para luego volver a darle la vuelta a la tortilla. Da gusto leer algo de misterio cortito y que te enganche tanto que no quieras dejar de leerlo.

The twists and turns just never stop in this fast paced thriller. At first, you get caught up in the mystery of it all - I mean, who can resist asking "whodunit"? But then the book transforms.

If you're anything like me, you start to pick up clues. You think to yourself, ah I know where this book is going. He's good and she's bad and this is how it'll end. And then CRACK, this twist shows up. And then BOOM, here comes another.

I honestly found myself in complete and utter shock right up until the first last paragraph. 

A quick and enthralling read. A bit gory, if that's not your thing. But, otherwise, it's nearly impossible to put this one down once you get started! Will recommend over and over!

i did not think i would enjoy this as much as i did. the characters were interesting and semi-flushed out (especially for a thriller). the plot was interesting, the twists and turns kept me guessing, and it was truly thrilling. i thought this was great to read in the winter.

I couldnt put this book down but I also didn't like it, its complicated. Firstly I'm not a fan of the repeated use of the racial slur often used against Chinese people, even acknowledging that its a slur doesn't mean you have to repeatedly use it no matter the context. There is also use of the n word, while it's used by someone who is obviously an awful person it just never sits right with me when a white author put those words in their book when they can maybe use other offensive terms to show the type of person they are without using painful and harmful slurs.
 

The tension was definitely what kept me reading this book but it was undermined by the writing of the villains. They felt like home alone burglers to me the whole time and it cut the tension. The constant use of 'baby brother' was so annoying but not as annoying as the last 100 pages. The repetition of 'Darby is safe.. He's followed us.. Darby is safe... There is Ashley' was too much. And that epilogue
