Usually I am disappointed when books claim to be a psychological thriller as they don't quite 'thrill' me. In this case I was pleasantly surprised and found myself unable to put the book down as I needed to find out what happened in the end. Sometimes flashbacks and switching between character's point of views can be used as a plot device just for the sakes of it, but in this case it really helped bring the story together. The ending was predictable for me and I did pick it early on, but it didn't take away much of the enjoyment. I was provided with a free copy via Netgalley for an honest review.

I just finished reading this book, and I have to say, I'm speechless. This book really was a thrill ride, from start to finish! As I was reading, I was excited to see how the events from the past and the present were combining together for an exciting and dramatic conclusion, and I could see the pieces fall into place; much to my surprise, my pieces weren't even on the correct board! The ending was truly unexpected, and I think that's part of what made the book so great. The storytelling and suspense was excellent.

I will say that the book does deal with a fair bit of domestic violence and assault, just as a caution in case that is a topic you may be sensitive to. Other than that, I wholeheartedly recommend this book if you're looking for a great thriller!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes.

I still don't believe this is a debut novel. It was really dark and suspenseful with great characters. A little predictable at times, but still an excellent read.
