Having read many thrillers, I could guess where this one might be heading. Yet there were enough twists and turns along the way to make this an enjoyable read. I would have liked to see the characters more flushed out, especially Daniel.

Liked it but had a feeling about the ending. And wound up skimming pages at the end.

This was a great first read of the year! I was seriously hooked! The storyline felt so real, like I was hearing a true crime story not reading a thriller novel. I was so intrigued by a story about a serial killer’s daughter. I feel like murder stories typically are about a victim or even the murderer but this one had a different spin that I really enjoyed. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to find out someone you thought you knew turned out to be a completely different, and horrible person. When the murders looked so similar to the ones from 20 years ago, it really had my detective brain going to try and figure out the mystery myself along with Chloe. And I thought I did have it but the story kept going in different directions it had me changing my mind so often I didn’t truly see the outcome until it was happening. If you’re into thrillers, mysteries and/or true crime this is a must read.

I knew who the killer was from when she first introduced the character. What I didn't know was all the twist involved before we got to the end.

I loved this book from the prologue to the very end. Every minute reading this, there was new surprising information to sway your mind. And every way it swayed, it was the wrong way. I felt almost insane reading this, falling for all of the plot twists. I had constant whiplash and was more shocked at the end than I ever could have imagined. I would love to read many more of Stacy's books.
