5.0

I don't normally write reviews for books, but this one has me so worked up I had to pen it. I liked this book from the word "go", but the more I read the more I fell in love. The mystery surrounding the main character drew me in as I tried, with Emma, to decipher her mysterious past and make sense of her suspicious new life. The BIG twist, I actually predicted, but never assumed I would be right and was therefore still floored when it was revealed.

I could never fully pinpoint how I felt while reading this book, and I'm not sure I can describe it accurately now. It caused me to question and to reflect and to consider. It pulled me in multiple directions. In the end I couldn't help myself from saying "Fight, Emma. Fight" aloud to my book as I read. The connection I felt to Emma was visceral - something I think, in part, caused by the writing style - and her battle felt personal.

How do you deal with the things She knows?

I can't wait to pick up the next book and see where things go from here.
