"Lies, marital abuse, murders....tough to read at times but really worth your time..."

"It was a good book, but hard to call it a good book because of the gruesome storyline. It's 95% trauma and 5% relief, which I would guess reflects the lived experience of the plot. "

"Easy to read. Flew through pages and loved and cheated for Jane not Jane. Enjoyed it a lot. "

"Equally heart breaking and suspenseful. This story grabs you from the very beginning and does not let you go. You will be addictively and intensely flipping the pages to find out if our main character will escape her captivity. It is also worth noting that this book is written so beautifully for something so evil.<br/><br/>If you loved 'Still Missing' by Chevy Stevens and 'The Quiet Tenant' by Clemence Michallon then you will love this one! Highly recommend."

"It wasn’t a bad book I just thought in the end there was a ton of different plot holes that never were resolved. I liked it OK but it wasn’t that great and it was extremely predictable IMO. Quick read though so see for yourself. "
