This is the type of thriller that I live for. The one that sneaks up on you in ways other than the ones that you are expecting. I was pretty close guessing where this story was going to go but never could I have ever guessed the way that we got there or the precise ending. Kate Alice Marshall has a gift and a curse. She goes dark and it gets deep. This one left me absolutely gutted. I would love to see this book play out as a limited series on Netflix or Prime. The right cast could do wonders with the characters penned and circumstances paged here.
