Loved it. I have yet to read a McFadden that doesn’t surprise me. I am still shook. How did I not see it coming?!

Plot was a bit too predictable. But the reveals at the end were interesting. This was my second book by McFadden and have to say I liked Never Lie a lot more. The plot twists were better.

Brooke seemed very naive and the name calling part at the school was stupid.

But I liked this interesting combination of romance and thriller.

Brooke was told not to get close to the inmates at her new job as nurse practitioner at a prison but what her new boss doesn’t know is one of the prisoners are there because of her. 

This book was so amazing! Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was a huge twist would happen and it’s change! So crazy! I didn’t know what story to believe or what was the true story! And I loved every second of it!
