This was an enjoyable book which had me questioning the motives of several characters. They are an interesting bunch which is my way of saying that most are quirky and not too likeable. With these types of books, I enjoy doing on my own super sleuthing to try to figure out what the final reveal may be. There are several mysteries in this book: where is Annie, are Rachel and Lily safe, and who can be trusted. With this one, I whittled down my list, but still did not figure things out.
Enjoyable read that kept my interest and moved at a nice pace, then it just ended. Yes, that is what books do, but it felt a little sudden. Other than the abrupt ending, I enjoyed this book. This was my first book by Laura Wolfe and I look forward to reading more of her work.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
