4 stars! This was a suspenseful, thrilling read!

I had my doubts when starting this book firstly because I really loved the author, Megan Miranda’s, previous novel “All The Missing Girls��. I was hoping to love this as much or more but thought it might be hard to top. My doubts also stemmed from the very mixed reviews I read prior to opening this book. A lot of GR friends felt disappointed. With that being said, although I enjoyed ATMG more, I really did like this novel. My rating is somewhere between 3.5 �� 4, but closer to a 4.

Miranda has such an outstanding ability to pull the reader right into the addictive story within the first few pages �� the suspense builds and keeps you feeling more engaged as each page passes by. She dangles extra details within each chapter providing just enough information to pique your interest and keep you hungry for more. I found myself creeping toward to edge of my seat while reading but not quite getting into ‘scare mode�� (thankfully!).

I was captivated by the story from chapter one, but I must admit I didn’t love the main character, Leah. By the halfway point, I found her inner thoughts started to get on my nerves and became slightly annoying. I actually didn’t really ‘love�� any of the characters in the story which partly took away from my enjoyment �� there were quirks about each of them that seemed to bother me.

Overall, it was an enjoyable book, but I would recommend Miranda’s other novel “All The Missing Girls�� over this one.
