• This book was incredibly tense and at times, challenging, to read. You almost feel the deep sense of helplessness and horror of what’s happening as you read. I felt sick at times. 
• The story progresses relatively quickly, which I appreciated. It’s a page turner and a short book which made for easy, captivating reading. 
• I adored Millie. Such a smart, caring and perceptive girl! 
• I was very satisfied with the ending; really enjoyed the last chapter. However I wish an epilogue would have been included. As a reader you go through a traumatic experience with a character in the book, and it would have been nice to have full closure at the end. 
• The entire Thailand ordeal traumatised me deeply. Thailand horror + the missing epilogue is why the book lost at least half a star from me. No more than that though because overall the book was highly addictive and intriguing. I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next and rooted for our main character throughout.
