I want to begin by saying, this is not my favorite genre. This book was recommended to me by a friend and I took a chance. 
With that being said....I could not get enough of this book. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole first half. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I was chewing my nails and anxious the whole time. The middle got a little boring and I lost some interest. It took me a little longer to get through, but when I get to the last 1/4th of the book, I couldn't put it down again. I was reading until 4am, then had to pick it back up first thing in the morning to finish. 
Sometimes it was a bit wordy, but so much detail I could picture myself there. It really kept me anxious and worried for Chyna. I honestly did not know how it was going to end until I got to the end. I had pictured all kinds of ending scenerios....the twist at the end caused me to change my predictions multiple times. 
I am not sure I'll read another book like this for a while. To be honest, I need to let my finger nails grow back. Because it kept my interest, I gave this book 5 stars. Since, I do not read this genre often, I do not have a lot to compare it to. It had some hard scenes to read through, but I think it was pretty mild compared to others and could be a good beginning read for those starting in this genre. Overall I thought this was a great read, and would recommend!

What a wild ride!!! I never had any idea where the plot could possibly go, as the stakes were so though the roof from the very beginning. It’s perfect for fans of the movies Hush and Die Hard, and the author Riley Sager. One of the most intense books I’ve ever read!
