For what’s done in the dark will come to light.
She must run fast to escape her lie
Or she’ll be the next to die…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book.. enjoyed the twist. Kept me intrigued throughout the story
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent story! Did not expect the direction that it went in.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice story line, but a touch too Disney the ending for me.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Just something to listen to while traveling to and from work. It was okay.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an awesome read, and I loved it so much!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ok so it was an accident that I read this book because for some reason I thought it was gonna be a spooky story about someone in a cabin. I was surprised early on to discover that it was more like a lifetime movie, but I found myself getting engrossed in the story .
I was sympathetic with the characters and was really into the story until close to the end . The story sorta changed into a men is bad and women are great theme that disappointed me . I think one quote was something along the lines that 50 women’s accounts against one man would be useless.
So other than the feminist propaganda included in the story it was a pretty decent book. I definitely wouldn’t recommend though - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thoroughly enjoyable! I couldn’t put it down ! The hope of comeuppance is felt towards the end! The voice narrating did a great job!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The first book in a while that I’ve been excited to continue!!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Started off pretty interesting. But then it veered off into Gone Girl territory, poorly. Everything was neatly, perfectly wrapped up in the end, although not at all plausible or realistic, just a lot of conveniences. Wouldn’t recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely amazing! It read like a movie in my head. Excellent writing! I finished in 2 days :) Terrific thriller
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was captivating from start to finish! A really good book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great thriller! Despite subs clichés, it also had some really unexpected twists. The pace of the story was good and the narrator did a lovely job.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it. This is a great novel. Keep me on edge of my seat.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was amazing. It kept you guessing what was going to happen next and right when you thought you had it all figured out, there comes a plot twist that keeps you from putting this book down. This is definitely a must read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Found another author to add to my favorites list. That's pretty hard to do these days. Right up there with Tami Hoag!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is so good.I loved the author's writing and the pace was also fast
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Bravo!!!! This book is well written and suspenseful in every detail! However, it is very sad.. this is a story that should be made into a movie to open awareness. Sexual violence is a terrible thing and too many women are imprisoned as a result of protecting their loved ones.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5WOW!! Just Wow!! I listened to this book in one sitting. It completely captured my attention from start to finish. First book I’ve listened to/read by this author and I’m so glad I came across it. I went through a complete range of emotions while listening. From feelings of complete sadness where I actually to intrigue then to rage all the way to excitement and complete joy!!! And not necessarily in that exact order. The emotions I felt jumped all around depending upon what was taking place in the book. I could also relate to so many different themes in this story. This is a heart wrenching triumphant story!! The main character I could relate to a lot. Regarding her inner strength and resilience. The character la in this story were very well developed and several of them I loved!! This is one story, albeit fictional, that will remain with me always! I HIGHLY recommend this book!
WARNING: This book could be triggering if you have PTSD from abuse. So proceed with caution if you still choose to read/listen. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you enjoy Twisty edge of your seat suspense, you will most likely enjoy this book. This book held my interest throughout; I did not mind the multiple time lines as it kept the pace going. My only quibble and it is more a comment on the editing was the use of British terms. The editor should have caught this. A woman who grew up in Missouri, lived in New York City and spent her whole life in America would not use the terms: fell pregnant, Paracetamol and whilst. I just found it humorous and immediately had to see if the author was British or American and indeed she is British. Overall I enjoyed the story toward the end it did get a bit convoluted but it was entertaining and kept me wondering what would happen next. Also the one reviewer here who said something about this being about a girl raised by a wolf must have been a different book, that review sort of threw me off.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book! I wasn’t a huge fan of the past and present thing, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Narration was very well done!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5She had nothing, ended up happy. I loved the ending.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Suspenseful all the way through! Give it a listen - the audio is great
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. The plot twists were great. I checked out Netflix to look for this book and sadly couldn’t find it. I think this one would make a great screenplay too.!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Had me hooked from start to finish.. and OMG, WHAT A FINISH!!! Totally recommend this book!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The suspense, I couldn’t stop listening. Love love this book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book wonderful story loved it a story for all women to read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow just wow amazing suspense, sadness and kept me on my toes. Loved it from beginning to end! It was an unexpected twisted that kept turning. Leaves you wondering what is gonna happen next and I wasn't sure if it would have be a successful event. Usually I can predict what was going on but with all the back and forth I was always behind caught off guard. This is definitely the type of book I enjoy reading the most. If you like to be kept on the edge with thriller unexpected suspense then give this book a go!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hooked from the beginning. Great storyline and the reader was really great to listen to.
