I’m conflicted with how I feel about this book. The premise was interesting and I was compelled to keep reading because I liked the writing style but there were some issues I had that hindered my overall enjoyment.

Pretty early on in the book it was obvious to me what was going on and I’m not sure if this knowledge was supposed to be a twist or not so I’m a little confused. I don’t know if a certain topic was accurately or well represented in the book, but I'm curious to see more reviews about this. Also, the ending was a little frustrating because *not sure if this is a spoiler but going to mention it anyway* this book ends on a cliffhanger and not everything is explained/resolved because there is a sequel in the works. Sometimes I don’t mind an ending like this, but in this case it just felt too incomplete. Overall I have some mixed feelings so I settled on 3 stars.

Content warnings: drug use/abuse, domestic and physical abuse, murder, mental illness, kidnapping and child sexual abuse (minor).

Well dang! This book was really awesome! But! And that's A big but! Its a freaking cliffhanger!!! Omg I dislike cliffhangers so much! My reasoning why is I read a ton of books and by the time the next book comes out I barely remember what happened till half way through the book! And after reading the first book I'm left unsatisfied!! I'm left up in the air about everything! Anyway! This book wss very good! It had suspense, intrigue, action, and some really crazy twists! The characters were very well written and I really enjoyed reading this book, until the end! Lol. The storyline was very very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I would definitely recommend reading this book but with a big warning that it is a cliffhanger! In case like me I like to read the books when all are out! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
