This book had too many side storylines going on, but yet was so boring at the same time. I looked up the ending and figured out one storyline Luke kidnapped Sienna and was on track to others Nat had more of a connection to Meghan than we thought. The twist of Caitlyn and Nat being the same person may have surprised me, but this was not compelling enough to keep reading
A very slow-paced thriller indeed. But the twist in the tale, when it came, was excellent. The ending was certainly satisfying, if nothing else. But.... But.... There were so many loose ends... What was the mystery about Caitlin's family members? Why, oh why, if Meghan was so paranoid, did she not repair the lock of her apartment? And what's with Ben, the divorced husband looking for a way back? Many things did not make sense, but there were many good parts in the story. In a nutshell, I'm not sure how in feel about this book. It is good enough for a one-time read.
This is more of a 3.5 stars for me but rounding up on good read. Definitely recommend
