This was very suspenseful and thrilling. Definitely a page turner and a rollercoaster of emotions. This is a very dark book, much darker than my usual reads; but it was somehow able to give you relief in between the shocking moments.

What the fuck did I just read? Horrible writing, tried too hard for a twist at the end. Weird sex scenes. No more Colleen Hoover for me, please.
