Interesting twists and turns that kept me guessing until close to the end. I love that the story is split into different timeline perspectives of before and present. It keeps you guessing as the information slowly unfolds and you continue to question who you can trust. One of the best parts of the book is part 2 called the reckoning. Just when you think the author would wrap up their story, they take you on the next step of the character's journey, adding a lot of depth to the plot.

I’m sorry to say that this was only 2 stars for me. I did finish it but it fell flat. The suspense was non existent and I didn’t like any of the characters. It felt unrealistic.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity.
