Even though I found this extremely predictable, I still really enjoyed it. Something about Hawkins’ writing style is incredibly addicting and made it hard to not just read this all in one sitting. However the actual storyline and characters weren’t all that compelling. I definitely would recommend this as a good book for those who are new to the thriller genre. However, those who have read a lot of thrillers will probably agree that it’s nothing exciting. As this is her debut thriller/adult book, I will pick up Rachel Hawkins’ future works.
