Wow. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I had guessed just about every scenario for the plot twist except for the actual plot twist! I was shocked. Finished in 3 sittings which is very fast for me. Such a good read

This book had me gripped but I just couldn't get over that ending

I wanted Merideth to be the character in the wrong. I understood Kates Stockholm syndrome but the ending seemed so far fetched and a better twist would have been Merideth being sinister. Also who posted on the vanished forums about Kate being a dead woman. Those forums were talked about so much and had no significance as all
