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.

This book could have been so much more if it didn’t rely on racism for the main villain. The story was fine, unbelievable at times, but nothing too crazy for thrillers. However, I had to stop myself from throwing the book across the room more than once at its blatant racism and the fact that it seemed like Taylor Adam’s has never met a women in his life, with how Darby was written.

This book absolutely slapped. I was on the edge of my proverbial seat while reading it. The main character is not perfect and I like her more for being realistic and flawed. It's extremely suspenseful and tense, but a quick read. I loved it.
