Twist After Twist!
As always, Valerie has given us another incredible novel. I am never disappointed and read everything she puts out immediately.
This was a quick read and definitely seemed to get quicker as the story went on. I could not put it down. There were so many unexpected twists and events, I am still in shock about some of them.
The characters were intriguing and held my attention throughout. The story itself was shocking and heart wrenching at times.
I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a fast paced, easy to follow thriller that you won't be able to put down.
