I read this book in one sitting. I literally sat down in my backyard, and when I lifted my head, three hours had passed. It’s really well written, it is so gripping, and the twist?!?! One of the best psychological thriller I have ever read, and I will absolutely start reading Nicole Trope’s other books. 
The characters are well described, and I got attached to them quickly. It is an incredible skill that the author has to get the readers to get attached even to the “monsters” of the story. I rarely give 5 stars to a story, but I definitely give it to this one.
