I received an advance reading copy of this book thanks to Simon & Schuster (Australia) via NetGalley

An exciting and gripping book from a debut author and I definitely enjoyed reading it. For three quarters of the book, I felt compelled to keep reading and enjoyed the narrative that Bartz created. The ending whilst not obvious, didn't surprise me. Unfortunately I felt that the ending was the downfall of this novel. To solve the mystery that's been kept hidden for ten years, but then delay the ending to throw in a "twist" (which it wasn't) read like a ploy to make the narrative longer. You basically get the ending twice in a space of 50 pages which I don't deem necessary and doesn't add anything to the story overall. I did really enjoy this book, I just wish the ending was perhaps edited or written slightly stronger.
