Frustrating

I don't want to give away the plot so I'm limited in what I can say without giving out spoilers. But I can at least say that it was very frustrating. The lead female character seems pretty stupid. But then she is a young, impressionable woman

She gets better towards the end but some of the story is so improbable that it comes off ridiculous.

I did end up appreciating the character Anna who is human and vulnerable and a total wreck. That made her realistic.

One of the best books ever!!

This author really knows how to make magic happen with words. Every book I've listened to has been amazing. This one really hit me hard. Probably because I'm a Mother and can only imagine what Natasha went through. I was up late into the night before I finished it. What a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Definitely worth every penny! I would give 10 stars if I could. 😀😀😀

Loved it!

I kept thinking I knew who the culprit was and how the crime occurred. Wrong, wrong, wrong! I kept being surprised until the final chapter.

Hard to follow

This one was very her for me to follow. The back & fourth with all the different names is rough. Plot was awesome, but I wish it was more consistent.

What fun!

An exciting ride that doesn’t let you down. Based on all the negative reviews, I must have been in just the perfect mood for this story.

This book sucked me in and kept me hooked all the way through. At this point with this genre, you know the “Shocking Big Twists” are coming and for me part of the fun is being able to guess what they will be. Some of the twists I saw coming, others I didn’t…

I predicted the twist at the end in the women’s storyline early on (I won’t say more to avoid spoilers) but had no idea how we’d get there.

The very very last twist was just annoying and unnecessary, but so what – it didn’t ruin the fun.

loved it!

I gasped when Anna said her name was Jennifer! I just knew that was Natasha.

A tale that just wouldn't quit

The storyline involved me in the beginning and held my attention for much of the book. But it dragged on way too long and became so repetitive and convoluted that I wanted to scream: ENOUGH ALREADY! Overall rating: 3.25 stars rounded down

Lots of Twists

I really liked this book a lot. In fast I thought it was hard to figure out. Narration was great.

Hard Listen

Different style of writing. Jumps around so much that it’s hard to keep up. Still don’t know who Ben is and the ending sucked horribly. Unanswered. Not a fan.

hard to follow

bounces back and forth between timelines. every voice sounds the same so it is hard to tell who is talking.
