It was fine

The story was fine. It felt a little long and drawn out. There isn't much excitement but it drew me in enough that I had to stay until the end to see if I was right. I was right. Therefore, I wish there was a better twist. I'd read from the author again though.

Drawn in from day 1 all the way through the book.

I couldn’t stop thinking of the book whenever I’d have to put it down to tend to my kids. It had my attention through the whole 3 months that it took me to read(4 little kids makes it hard to have quiet time to myself;)) but damn, the suspense. The love between the main character and her fiancé, the steamy scenes were just enough to get your heart racing, then the killing scenes made you mr heart race in a dreadful, way. It was an amazing book with a great end. I’ve recommended it to all of my crime/suspense, friends. READ IT!!! and remember…sometimes the ones you think are your biggest supporters, are actually the opposite.

A good "twisty" story!

This has made it in my new top favorite Psychological Thrillers! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book.

Impressed!

I correctly foreshadow books often, it’s hard to surprise me, but this one did! I enjoyed this, storyline kept me entertained and kept me guessing! Well done!

SLOW Start but good

I can actually see this as a Netflix mini series. This is a really good story line.

Good enough

While I thought this was a pretty good thriller, the story was enabled by a heroine that routinely showed a lack of common sense and failed to listen to any advice. Ah but how would the story unfold otherwise. Overall I thought it was worth a read. I would advise speeding up the narrator as she read very slow. She did do a good job with the alternate voices.

Intense and Captivating

This was such a great read. The writing is intense, captivating, and you feel you are right there in the action and emotions. I was hooked from the beginning to the end.

Decent Book-Bad Narration

I loved the book overall-but the narration seemed flat and hard to listen to at times. I liked the story but was kind of disappointed in the ending.
