I really enjoyed this book! It was gripping, constantly moving forward, and had me on the edge of my seat. I loved not knowing who to trust (even when it came to the narrator). There were some moments when I really did not like Gwen and her choices, but I think that added to the overall novel.
I'm not a huge fan of series, so I'm not eager to jump to the next book. I may wait awhile before I come back. All the same, I would definitely recommend this if you're into mystery and thrillers.

I picked up this book as a Kindle First selection a couple of months ago and just finally got around to reading it. I wasn't expecting much because my Kindle First picks have historically been rather lackluster, but this was SO unexpectedly good! When I first read the synopsis, I didn't pay too much attention to this line, "[Gwen is] still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband’s crimes," but that is the main focus of the entire story. I admit that I have never once given thought to someone who has had to reinvent their entire life and identity, not because they were simply a witness to a crime, but because they were falsely accused and acquitted of being involved in said crimes. This novel thrusts that scenario into your face, and the result is an absolutely riveting, fast-paced, and engrossing thriller!
I rounded my 4.5 star rating down this time, because I usually can't stand it when I figure out who the "bad guy" is too early in the book, but this one was full of so many different twists and angles that I couldn't be sure I was actually correct (though I was!) until the end. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book in December!
