I really liked Erin Adam’s writing. Her storytelling is very engrossing; she has a way of writing that just gives justice to the scene. I didn’t like following Liz very much; I like flawed characters who make mistakes, but I don’t like following characters in thrillers that are so monumentally messy they endanger the investigation and themselves. The supernatural twist by the end also took me by surprise. I would’ve liked it if it wasn’t there, or if it was there, I would’ve appreciated a good build up.
