You know I really should quit going in blind on the books I read, because they truly do surprise me. Like this one…. I was not expecting that at all! I knew nothing about this book besides a girl goes missing, and boy was that an understatement! 

 

I really enjoyed this book, it’s not for the faint of hearts and if you have any triggers whatsoever I would highly recommend checking them before reading this. 

 

I was intrigued from the very beginning. The story definitely takes a minute to build, but then a little ways in it really picks up and doesn’t quit. It’s one crazy, wild, f&ck3d up ride!!! My adrenaline was so high and my heart was no stop pounding while reading this! Lol! I immediately needed to know the whole story. The who, what, when, where, why and how, ASAP! Like I thought I had figured it out and I did partially but not fully. I was shocked. I know this is a thriller but I think it tip toes the horror line a tad bit too. It’s very graphic. Oh and that one machete scene 👀…..shoooo boy that threw me for a second. I had to check and see if I was reading one of my extreme horror books. I absolutely loved this book! It was my first book by this author and it most certainly won’t be my last 🖤
