Well, this is the first mystery/thriller book I’ve ever rated 5 stars, but holy crap was this good from start to finish. The way the information was doled out; the MC and her entire backstory/development; the side characters; the found family—the freaking ending! Just all SO good. I was hooked! 

I listened to the audiobook, but I get to meet the author in a couple weeks and I’m VERY excited.
