Well, this one is a shock to me. A few years ago I went to chapters and bought a random book. I just liked the cover. And my boyfriend wanted me to pick up a book and I did not know what to pick. So that is how I got this book. I am so in shock as to what this book just gave me for result.

And I gave it 4 stars. I have never given a high rating for adult fiction. Because I can always guess it a mile away before finishing books like these. Really not the case for this one.
You go from now to 1997, where it all started. And you get to know multiple perspective. 
When we get more than one POV, it’s the kind of book I love. So you get to understand the main characters so much more.

So in this story you have so much confusion, from who is the bad guys to who is to hate or blame. The first half was more of figuring out who is who and more the details of the place/area of the book.

And I did read the first half back in November (I wanted to read Christmas books so I put it down for a bit). 
I should have never put it down seriously lol.

But I just finished 200 pages in 24 hours it was that trilling and good.

I can’t really tell you more because of the point of a triller is to find out while reading and I do not want to be the reason you get spoiled. But this book is full of suspense, you are never sure what is real or not.

But just got get yourself a copy, ebook or physical book. You will not regret it.

Thank you !
