WOWZA! I was on the edge of my seat while reading this book! I was instantly invested in the book from the very beginning and was turning those pages and huffing and puffing when life got in the way of my reading this gripping and shocking book! Christina Henry has knocked it out of the ballpark with this riveting book. Color me impressed!
Calista – wakes up in a home that she does not recognize with a little girl calling her mom and a husband she has never seen before. She has a job and responsibilities, but nothing feels right. She knows that this is not her real life but can’t figure out what or how to get back to where she belongs. She knows something isn’t right, she is unsettled and fearful. How did this happen to her?
Allie – has a birthday weekend trip planned with her friends and was shocked when her friend’s boyfriends show up. To make matters worse, the driver did not take them to a beach house as planned but to a remote cabin in the woods. Nothing feels right about this cabin or location at all!
Maggie – wakes up in a strange location where she is told she must follow the rules and complete a maze. If she does not, harm will come to her daughter. She is not wearing her own clothing and does not know any of the women she is with. Something is seriously wrong!
Holy Moly! I was so engrossed in this book. I was on the edge of my seat, feeling all kinds of emotion ranging from anger, anxiety, concern, outrage, and hope. This book was like being on a never-ending roller coaster. The women are all different, they are all in different situations, and they are all facing danger.
I love suspense, mysteries and horror and this one was the perfect combination of all three. The pacing was fast as there is a lot on the line for the women in this book. I loved not knowing what was truly happening. As well as the female characters in this book, I had questions – a lot of them! Plus, this book reminded me of several movies such as The Cabin in the Woods, The Hunger Games, and The Stepford Wives to name a few.
This book was gripping, shocking, tense, and hard to put down! There is a lot of misogyny in this book, and I loved that the women were strong, intelligent, and not willing to back down!
The descriptions are vivid and there are some scary and gory scenes, not to mention a ton of spiders. ACK! There is also a lot of suspense, thrilling and shocking moments which will get the heart rate elevated and the pages flying!
I had so much fun reading this book and look forward to what Christina Henry writes next!
Well written, shocking, gripping, and hard to put down!
