Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger comes a captivating psychological thriller about a girl who must face her darkest fears—but can she outrun the past?
 
Kelsey has lived most of her life in a shadow of suspicion, raised to see danger everywhere. Her mother hasn’t set foot outside their front door in seventeen years, since she escaped from her kidnappers with nothing but her attacker’s baby growing inside her—Kelsey.
 
Kelsey knows she’s supposed to keep a low profile and stay off the grid for their protection, but that plan is shattered when her dramatic car accident and rescue by volunteer firefighter and classmate Ryan Baker sparks media coverage.
 
A few days later, she arrives home to find her mother missing. Now, to have a chance at a future, Kelsey will have to face her darkest fears. Because someone is coming for her. And the truth about the past may end up being the most dangerous thing of all.

    Okay so I just finished this book and I never write books reviews but I have to for this one. Let me preface this by saying: this book is a bit cheesy. But the thing is, it is so perfectly written - it keeps me on my toes and engaged. I don’t think I have ever been more surprised by a book. It is truly unpredictable. I don’t want to spoil anything but in my opinion, the cheese factor of this book is well worth it because of the author’s story telling abilities. I think I’ll check out another one of hers next!
  • Excellent!
