Safe by S.K. Barnett

4.0

Thanks to the publisher for the early copy in exchange for my honest review

Not only was this just a good thriller, I had this one with me while I was waiting for a tow truck to come get me (damn alternator went out on me). So I had plenty of uninterrupted time to finish this one up. SAFE by S.K. Barnett was a really quick read and I think it was unique and twisty! I flew through the ending and couldn’t wait to see how it was going to end.

Jenny was on her way to her friend’s house when she was taken off the sidewalk. Her quiet neighborhood was rocked and most lost hope that they would ever see her again. Fast forward twelve years – Jenny has returned home safely. Her family welcomes her back home, and I’m sure you can imagine how overjoyed they all were that she was alive and returned to them. What happened in the those twelve years? How did she get away? Was she released? Where was she? So many unanswered questions and it seems like every time we get an answer more questions surface. I loved how we were constantly trying to piece together the mystery.

Overall, a thriller I would definitely recommend! I’ll be keeping an eye out for more from Barnett in the future. I feel like this one stood out against a lot of the thrillers and suspense books that all seem to blend together (not that it’s a bad thing). A great summer read for the TBR!
