This book was sooo good. I couldn’t put it down. I knew Wendy couldn’t be trusted. Saw the twist with her coming. Brock sucked. Millie deserved better. And I didn’t see the twist at the end coming. I thought the intruder was the character you would expect to be the killer at the end. That surprised me, although, I’m not all that surprised because the killer in the end turned out to be someone who had reason to do what they did. So, the killer could have been either person. They both had reason to kill those people at the end. I do feel bad for Russell though because he at least had a conscience after what he did. But I feel that everybody got what they deserved in the end, except of course Wendy’s husband Douglas, and Russell.
