She's even friended her family on social media. To find out why, Brienne must leave the safety of her home to hunt a familiar stranger. What she discovers is more disturbing than she could have ever imagined. With her fragile mind close to shattering, Brienne is prepared to do anything to reclaim her life. If it's even hers to reclaim.

This was twisted. I had to keep guessing what was going to happen and I still never saw the ending coming. It got. little confusing at times, but the author meant it to be that way.

Overall this book was fine. I thought that the writing was done well and the story itself was interesting if not very predictable. A few chapters in I was able to figure out the first "big twist" and as I continued to read it was pretty easy to figure out the rest and how it all would end. Now that's not to say that it wasn't entertaining because it was. I was interested in the story and the characters, I just found it a bit too predictable for my tastes.

El comienzo es lento, aunque si leíste suficientes misterios o viste suficientes thrillers podes llegar a hacer suposiciones sobre por dónde viene lo central de la trama. Si logran superar esa fase, el misterio es atrapante e interesante, y vas a querer terminarlo para saber cómo se resuelve.

** spoiler alert ** 3.5/5 The story did have some good twists, I just wasn't wow'd by the story. Maybe it was the characters. I had a general dislike for Brie and Neil. Sam was the only character I felt myself rooting for. I feel that if they had, had Neil kill Sam thinking it was Brie it would have been more poetic. I think it would have been more of a shocking end to have the Neil kill Sam and realize Brie was completely alive and well. I don't know why they abandoned that idea. It seemed they were going for that till they didn't.
