    Not a typical mystery book.

    I couldn't put this down. I know some people didn't like the book, stating that the characters were 'shitty' people, and they are! No one has clean hands in this book. However, that's part of what made this such an interesting read! The characters are self centered, lost, destitute, and only out for themselves- everything that's at the core of humanity. I feel that author did a good job of capturing just how dark humans can be at the center-we're not much above the animals. I had to keep turning the pages because the twists kept coming, and when the truth came out, the way it came out, I was shocked.

    Difficult Read

    The book was an easy read regarding the length of the book. However, it was difficult to keep all the characters straight. I would have to go back a few chapters to keep tabs on the character. Plus, the chapters titles were the names of the character. The ending was most interesting.

    Good read

    This book was good. I wouldn't say that it it kept my interest during ever page, but there were a few twists. There were a few parts where I was just hoping that she would get to the point, or at least hoping that she was purposely building suspense, but overall it was a good read. It took me about a week, off and on, to read, so it doesn't involve too much time. I liked how Hawkins used the different points of view of the characters.

    Easy read with an intense plot!

    Keeps you guessing until the very end! Loved this book and how the author's voice of writing was unique and compelling. A lot of adult content and some language throughout, but you will not be disappointed.
