This was a 3 star read for me.

I do not read many thrillers and I want to start doing so, but I am always worried I will be to scared. This was great though, twisty and mysterious but I was still able to sleep!

I thought I saw the twist coming, I thought I was so smart, but I was so wrong! So I did not see the twist coming and I loved reading how everything all came together. I thought it was very intriguing and well written.

The relationships in the story were well thought out and interesting, I thought they really added to the mystery of the story. I enjoyed how the storyline would go back and forth from Chloe's childhood to the present. I loved how the clues were laid out for us to follow and try to figure out, I think the author did a great job of leading us down one path only to surprise us in the end. That was a fun ride and I will be checking out more from this author!

I recommend this to anyone looking for a decent thriller, it was not to gruesome or scary!
