This was a very quick read, because I could not put this book down!

Within the first pages, you are instantly drawn into the story. When her son is abducted seemingly right from her side, Marin is distraught. Her and her husband Derek are very high profile, wealthy people, and they desperately wait for a ransom demand. When nothing comes, and the FBI case runs cold, Marin and Derek's lives are shattered.

Forward to over a year later, Marin is in a support group for parents of missing children, and has hired a PI to continue the investigation into Sebastian's abduction. However, what Marin learns instead is that her husband is having an affair with a much younger woman. Marin decides to take action - she's not losing her husband as well as her son. When Marin starts to obsess over this new woman however, she quickly learns that Kenzie may be connected to her in more ways than just her husband, and worse - Derek may know more about the kidnapping than he's let on.

I was gripped by this story right away - Marin was such a badass female lead, taking charge of her life right when it seemed like everything was going to be taken from her. Her journey to the truth was a wild one, and there was definitely a point where this story got WAY crazier than I anticipated, and I was super thrown off. The ending was something I did not see coming, and the characters who were involved in the end were also a surprise. I truly love a thriller where I'm shocked by the end! If I can guess where it is going, it takes some of the fun away.

Hillier writes a gripping thriller, and I can't wait to check out more of her work. It lost half a star for me because while the ending was great, it was a little too quick and neat for me.
