Wow… absolutely incredible.
I haven't read a book of this author's in a while. I can appreciate and recognize that she is a phenomenal writer. However, I have to be in the mood for her stories. When this book started popping up all over the place, I knew I needed to read it. I knew it would be different from her previous books, and I was totally on board.
This book started out great for me. I was turning the pages, trying to put the pieces together. I was almost afraid to find out what exactly was going on. The first part of the book is written as suspense/mystery with an inkling of a romantic spark. I am all for the little romantic spark in a suspense/mystery.
At some point in the book, the mood changed. It went to a romance with a touch of suspense/mystery. This is where I started to lose interest and focus in the book. I was looking forward to a suspenseful mystery. Those elements I love took a backseat to the budding romance.
Overall, the book, per usual, was written well. I was mostly engaged. It took me a while to put the pieces together. I am glad I read it. It is definitely a good read. The heavy on the romance just wasn't my cup of tea.

One of my top reads of the year. I laughed, I cried, and then I cried again. Exceptional characterization. The thriller plot twists and turns wet immaculate. At no point did I ever think someone was acting silly or unrealistic or immature. I cannot recommend this enough.
Very dark themes. Trigger warnings for on page content.

I DEVOURED this book. The first book I’ve read by Mia Sheridan and shes made a good first impression!!! This book was finally one of those crime thrillers that actually had me stressedddddd and freaked out, at one point I actually had a visceral reaction like eyes watering n everything!
There were some elements I personally found slightly too far-fetched but I think the general storyline managed to build a lot of suspense. I also like how Josie was written; sometimes authors can give their victims huge victim complexes and moments where we’re meant to feel sorry for them end up making me find them really annoying but I actually liked Josie’s character and felt sad of her so many times

Crazy good
OK, so I read this book in like a day because I couldn’t put it down not even for a minute. I’m also disappointed because I wish I could’ve stretched it out but kudos for keeping my attention because dayyyum! The suspense was insane, I thought I had the twist figured out, but nope… I wasn’t right. So good !!!!
