‘There’s something in his expression that sends a chill down my spine. And then he shakes his head, almost imperceptibly. Almost like he’s trying to warn me. But he doesn’t say a word’ - Freida McFadden 😱 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars 

Oh I love a good thriller, and I can see why this one is so well loved. It was a really easy read. Nice short, punchy chapters. I flew through it in a couple of days. 📖 

There was a nice amount of discomfort throughout, a few twists and I really loved the epilogue - which is rare for me 🌪️ 

If you’ve read a lot of thrillers, I’m sure you’ll piece things together but it didn’t take away from the experience for me. My only gripe was how quickly it all resolved at the end - a little TOO convenient but I get it. 👌🏻
