I absolutely loved her first book, and had high expectations about this one. Although it's very well written and engrossing, all the time all I thought of was “it can't be a version of Stepford wives, can it? she wouldn't do it, right?”... and well, to my dismay, not only I saw exactly that, but also the ending was terrible - I mean, after all the ordeal people went through, she just moved and it was all hunky dory? the villains gave up on her? come on. something is off. And that attempt to a twist with the clicking at the end? oof. could have gone without it.So, basically, the three stars are because I was in a good mood and the narrative was really good. But had I read this one first, I would never pursue a second book by her.
