An Addictive Thriller That Keeps You Guessing!

I can’t believe I missed this book, I love everything that Hyde writes! This one was good, but probably my least favorite of all her books. I gave it 4 stars because it did everything a thriller should. It had me hooked, trying to guess the mystery and invested in the characters. But I’m just unsatisfied with the ending. I wasn’t really surprised, but I wish it felt more finished. It just leaves you with your jaw dropped and then it’s over. This would be good if there was another book, but there’s not. I hate endings like this. For me, as much as I enjoy a book/series, if the ending isn’t satisfying I don’t like the book and don’t recommend it. But if endings like that don’t bother you, this is a very good and hard to put down thriller!

The narrator/actress is excellent!

Great first book from J.L. Hyde

There ending was an interesting surprise and also leaves you hanging as what could happen!
