Suspenseful, intriguing, but also confusing. There was a lot of past to present back and forth and it wasn't always clear which timeframe you were reading about. The last few chapters were chaotic (in a good way) and pulled me back in, but again, just kind of confusing and a lot to piece together.

This was unbelievably good. Without a doubt one of the best mystery/thrillers I've ever read.

The pace and the way the author weaves in the backstory is perfect. The way we think we get answers when really all we're getting is more questions makes it impossible to put down. Until the very end you don't know who does what and why or how and if any of it is real. But in the last moments all the threads are tied together perfectly.

The story in and of itself is twisted and creepily intriguing. A girl held prisoner (but not really) by a serial killer who can't remember anything about her past...until he comes back for her. That alone makes you want to read, but when it ends up being that AND so much more?

Honestly, it was just a fun as hell read. I added this authors entire collection of works to my TBR before I even finished.
