Safe by S.K. Barnett

4.0

---

Safe was an interesting one that I enjoyed very much.
It’s one of those reads that initially seems fairly transparent that is until you delve deeper.
This was such an easy read that I completed in one sitting.
Full of twists and turns it pulled me in investing me in the unfolding narrative.

This is primarily a psychological thriller centring on Jenny a girl who at 6 years old was kidnapped while walking to her friend's house two doors away.
Now 12 years later a girl claiming to be the missing Jenny has reappeared she knows all about Jenny’s past and details only Jenny could know she appears authentic and the grieving parents welcome her into there home with open arms.

The only one who seems suspicious of her claims and her motives is Jenny’s older brother Ben who right from the beginning isn’t convinced.
It’s also not long before Jenny is herself having suspicions of her own ones concerning her parents and starts to investigate stuff for herself.

This is mostly told from Jenny’s POV and we also get a few instances from the brother Ben and the father Jake.
Safe essentially was a well crafted psychological thriller that easily kept my attention with its mystery and intrigue and I’m happy to recommend.
My only slight issue was the finish which I found slightly anti-climatic.
I still enjoyed this but did think the ending let things down slightly.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Safe.
