Customer Reviews

Love it!!

Great book, easy to understand and to keep reading. Very well written, the book has you reading from the start. It does go back and forth but it’s easy to follow if you pay attention to the days it has on each chapter. If you liked this book I would also recommend reading The Hidden by Melanie Golding they’re similar in a way.

It was fine

I loved the premise of this book. Unfortunately, I was not particularly impressed with the execution of it. I will still check out more from this author, but I feel this book was more for someone who doesn't read a lot of thrillers or is new to the genre, not someone who reads thrillers regularly.
