Did I read this book in one sitting? Yes. 

Did I read this as fast as I possibly could because I just had to know how it finished? Also yes. 

Did I like it? I’m honestly not sure. 

Thrillers usually aren’t my vibe (I scare super easily) but this novel was so fast paced and completely pulled me in from the very beginning. The conflicting timelines, multiple POVs, and the mob mentality of the towns folk had me hooked but I really struggled with some of the character work; I found a lot of the characters pretty one-dimensional. I don’t plan on continuing the series, mostly because I am just not a thriller girly, but I did end up liking more of this book than I originally anticipated so that’s a win!
