The thrills were so good with this one! It was such a fun and fast paced read. Even though I could predict some of the things that happened, it was a good time!

As we started to learn about the connection between Floyd and Noelle, it was very easy to sense that Noelle couldn't get pregnant. All the pieces fell into place as you knew the set up from the end result in the beginning of the book, but not necessarily the how or why.

How Ellie became pregnant really surprised me! I thought that Floyd was going to play a bigger part in that with Noelle, but it was really just her that was completely unhinged. The fact that she bought sperm and inseminated Ellie was appalling.

I also thought the end of Part Four was fascinating where Floyd was giving Noelle a gift, but Part Five really dropped the ball. It was too happy and easy for the characters. I wanted more drama and for it to keep up pace with the rest of the book. The fact that Blue said Floyd's aura was dark felt like it didn't really come into play.

Poppy was also an interesting character and acted so much older. I was hoping we'd find out more about why Floyd made the decisions she did.

Definitely recommend this one for people looking for a fast, fun, thrilling read!

Her daughter was gone. Ten years later she was moving on...finally. But was her daughter as gone as she thought?

Very slow start and I didn't think it was going to pick up. Almost to the end I said out loud "well I still don't understand". Middle gave us all the info but the characters still didn't know. Then the last few pages were just like oh, what's the point of the book of the main character doesn't know guess I better tell her. 

Potentially a good story I just didn't enjoy the way it was presented.

Will not read again.

Bit predictable and I realised what was happening as the story went on. I hoped I’d be wrong and there would be a big twist but I was disappointed.  However I did enjoy this and it did keep me wondering what was happening!!
