Trigger warning: Sexual assault, rape
The twists and turns kept me so engaged. I love the way Alice leaves no stone unturned. She wraps every detail she mentions into a nice little bow. Her use of similes and metaphors are so creative. It’s a dark and intense ride that you close your eyes for sometimes, but damn does she deliver. This is the second book I’ve read of hers and she’s quickly becoming my fave in this genre

First time in a while I've not anticipated the twists in a thriller. I was very happy when the initial tropes started to fall away. I get that some people don't like how complicated the plot gets but I much prefer a thriller that verges on unbelievable than something mundane! 
Not sure it needed such graphic depictions of SA, and personally didn't love a little cliffhanger ending for a stand alone. Otherwise, very strong
