I loved this thriller! I am not normally one who reads thrillers and I was worried reading this one as I am a social worker by trade. However, I was quickly taken into the storyline and plot. I knew there was a connection between Theo and Alicia but I did NOT see the plot twist coming! I was shocked. I loved the way the book ended as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I completed it in one day I would have given it three stars however the ending was slightly confusing and I didn't like it too much however the plot twist was so exciting which I loved!

I would consider this book one of my all time favorites. The plot, pacing, characters, and twists are just brilliant. The writing and prose are incredible and it keeps you hooked throughout. I haven't stopped thinking about this book since I read it and I recommend it to everyone I know.
