Wasn't bad. I used to love serial killer type books but I started to find that they all became pretty similar to one another. Not a bad read, but nothing particularly stand out.

This book was not scary for me in the traditional sense. What scares me about this story is just how easily someone else can get your information, find out everything about you, find out who your friends are, where you are and where you have been, with hardly any effort on their part!
It is a book which makes you seriously think about just how much information you share online, and how much you leave behind as you go about your daily life.
This is a brilliant psychological thriller which is so relevant to life nowadays. Everything is done online now, even banking, and security is a necessity. This story shows quite how important it is to be aware of security online.
A great read from two brilliant authors.

the world of internet dating... this book makes you think twice about who you meet online. from personal experience i know that it is not all bad as i met my husband online but the men in this book are a totally different story. Amy's sister Beccy goes missing and Amy set out to find out what happened to her. i am a big fan of both Mark Edwards and Louise Voss and I highly recommend this book

What a fabulous white knuckle rollercoaster ride of a book this is with all is dark, murky twists and turns. Terrifying and dripping with suspense, it'll make you check and double check all your privacy settings. Great read!

I love this authors style of writing - every chapter ends in a cliff hanger and you race towards the finish not knowing what's going to happen.
This was great , very topical - made me think about how free and easy people are with technology and how there can be nasty people out there waiting to take advantage.

I did enjoy this book, it felt at parts like I couldn't read fast enough to find out what was happening. Seeing Becky's story in the flashbacks only added to the tension you felt in Amy's search for her. Also I am a sucker for a book with a double ending so I was a fan of the conclusion of the book (and did not come close to guessing what had happened.)
One thing which I didn't like was the inclusion of Amy's past abusive relationship because I felt it added nothing to the story except attempting to give her a reason for not wanting a relationship. After reading Elizabeth Haynes' book Into The Darkest Corner, I felt that the attempt of an abusive relationship in this book was token and did not actually capture any of the fear felt in these relationships. The scene where Amy saw her ex in a restaurant in particular I felt made a mockery of the entire subplot. That is my reason for giving the book 4*. I felt the rest of the book was very good.
