Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!!

I'm reading lots of good books lately and this is another one. Super dark and absolutely thrilling, this book had me hooked, especially with the back story of the murder victim. 

Allan Hobbes was murdered in his creepy mansion, and the detectives are on the case.  However, this leads them in a lot of directions, making it seem like there is an underlying connection between everything.  

Sarah is a protective sister with her own family, a daughter, and her husband.  However, she hasn't had a chance to be that protective sister for her little brother in over a decade.  When she finds out her brother,  Chris,  is missing, she immediately takes it upon herself to start the search.

Chris is, in fact, in hiding.  But it is not for what I first believed.  There are connections, like a spiderweb, over the different character's and their pasts.  This story really drew me in with the brutal history of serial killer jack lock and his creation of a book that reveals the future.  It's almost as if the future is laid out, pre-ordained, and nobody even has any real choices.  (A very interesting and quite depressing thoughtšŸ¤£šŸ¤£)

I loved this.  I loved the darkness of the theme that ran through this story and following these characters.   Definitely recommend for fans of thrillers!
