This book had us on the edge of our seats the entire time, and we loved the thrill of not knowing what was coming next. It’s one of those stories that keeps you guessing, with every twist making the stakes higher. The suspense, the mystery, and that unexpected ending—it’s everything you want in a great read. Highly recommend this one if you love being shocked and surprised!
I am going to be one of the exceptions here, but this was one of those books where there are so many things that are just too unrealistic to even make it mildly entertaining. The beginning was good and the idea of the story would have been great if written believably. I unfortunately found myself eye rolling too many times. I hate giving bad reviews because these things are subjective, but I am tiring of reading reviews that all seem to be going along with the hype that a book is great when it is just âhyped up social media influenceâ. I think that is what this one is. I donât want to put spoilers in but I found myself shaking my head and laughing at things that arenât âfunnyâ but the author clearly didnât research protocols for anything.
This books starts off quick! Immediately something happens to a woman on a dark road and we can only surmise that it’s something terrible, then we go to a little girl locked in a basement and she’s been there for YEARS, and then we’re bouncing around the timeline and different POVs and it’s a ride! There are twists and there are surprises. I couldn’t put it down!
