emotional hopeful mysterious medium-paced

This story pulled me in right from the beginning, with characters I couldn’t help but become invested in. Each one felt so real and layered that I found myself caring deeply about where their journey would take them. Just when I thought I had the storyline figured out, the author threw in a twist I never saw coming—it completely shifted how I viewed everything that had happened up to that point.


The ending was heartfelt and powerful, tying the story together in a way that left me believing that sometimes things truly do happen for a reason. It’s the kind of book that lingers with you, reminding you of the resilience of people and the unexpected ways life can bring meaning, even in the hardest moments.

DID NOT FINISH

So so so bad. Audible download. Pregnant girl brought to a house after being caught in a snowstorm and getting in a car accident. She’s kept in the basement, she suspects the husband is a bad man. I listened for half the book and nothing happened.

This book kept me on my toes the whole way through 🤯. I couldn’t predict what was coming next—every time I thought I had it figured out, Freida flipped the script again 😅. It’s twisty, fast-paced, and one of those reads where you just keep saying “one more chapter” until suddenly you’ve finished 📖✨. Definitely a wild ride 🚗💥.



I don’t know… as per usual I didn’t pick up on a few of the plot twists, but I didn’t find it exciting or surprising when they were revealed either unfortunately

 First of all, I do enjoy reading every one of her books but for some of them isn’t quite upto the expectations I really keep for her books. I don’t know why she is in a hurry to publish so many books at once, but this is affecting the quality of the book in overall. I feel like her older books have that interesting ‘edge’ to the storyline. This one however gave me a headache. The story started pretty good but when I got to the middle portion, it irritated me so much. Some of the characters are so insufferable. I wanted to like the book, but I really couldn’t. I have read much better books by Freida and I loved them. However, this one was not likeable by me. No hate to author or anyone who liked this one. But I kinda expected more. She is one of my top favourite authors in thriller section, and I would love to read more books by her <3
