The unmissable new thriller from the bestselling author and screenwriter of Netflix movie, The Weekend Away. In a cabin in a wood, A woman by the window stood. Glancing out, she thought she heard Footsteps, whistling, something stirred. Hiding here, she fears the night, 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...

Thank you for this ARC that was generously provided by the publisher and author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I had a really hard time getting into this one. I received it through netgalley and was excited to get started on it as the blurb sounded very enticing. A woman on the run with a past of domestic abuse, and in the midst of escaping another that at first presented himself as the ultimate dream man.

At first I was hooked, but then as I started getting more towards the middle, I kept finding myself putting it down and being drawn to other books. My lack of interest was quickly becoming evident. It wasn’t a bad book, per say. If you are looking for something more to do with drama and domestic disputes and not quite the thriller aspect, this book could definitely be for you. But it was, quite honestly, just boring for me. I waited and waited for some unexpected twist, and was left with nothing. I felt like it had a lot of potential, but lacked the ability to keep my interest, probably because I was expecting more due to the genre. There was nothing chilling or suspenseful about it, which is what you anticipate when starting a thriller.

I did find the author’s writing style was very clear and clean and enjoyable to read, I just felt the story was lacking for the genre it was placed in, and I wouldn’t have read if it I would have known that. For that I give it three stars because although it wasn’t for me, I do recommend giving it a read if this is the type of book you are typically into!
