I really enjoy Katherine Faulkner's writing. It's effortless and just flows so easily. The plot itself was decent. Tash is a bit bland and it feels like she is just a vehicle through which to tell the story. While the ending was exciting, it was almost too much. Faulkner throws in so many twists and extra details. I do appreciate that the ending was kinda ambiguous and foreboding. I wish more thrillers and mysteries had unsettling endings.

This is a well written page turner that's also flawed. Ultimately, it provides suspense and intrigue, making it a success in my opinion.
