"There’s a lot of twists and turns in this book! It’s a pseudo fiction as well which makes this book so interesting. "

"This was one of the best books I have read in a very long time. The way the author writes and describes everything definitely keeps you drawn into the book and what the main character is going to do next!!"

"Halfway through the book, it is AMAZING. I have never read a book this good, i am quite picky with my books and never find interest in most. But this one is by far the best I have ever read. I’m binge reading it, everyday on my porch drinking a cup of coffee or tea. I 10/10 recommend this to anyone, and everyone. Even the beginning of the story is interesting, it’s so addictive. You hardly come across books like this, if ever."

"It was indeed a mystery that did bring a level of fright, but the main character lacked decision making. It did bring to the forefront what it’s like to be viewed and be a woman wether it’s back in history or in todays time. I do feel as if she could have been written better from a woman rather than being written as this dumb woman who got her stuff together out of nowhere at the end. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend."
