Review:

I was pulled in for the very first paragraph. Gripping writing and needing to know more. The entire first chapter was absolutely captivating and terrifying in equal measures. Amazing writing.

The violent episodes are written so vividly they almost

Made me wince as if I was there! Emily’s entire POV is so jarring and vivid!

I really enjoyed that we had seen the main crime and then follows the police and husband trying to figure out what had happened and track them down.

I loved the ‘twist’ and although I definitely saw it coming it didn’t make it any less tense and fast paced.

I would definitely recommend this one – five out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
