There might have been a few moments where I felt this story skipped a step, but I barely cared. I found myself immediately hooked and flew through reading it. My eyes may have rolled or slid to the side from time to time, but I can't deny that I was entertained. 

That being said, this is not the next Jane Eyre. Managing your expectations for a thriller is key. This one uses a Shutterstock image as its cover, so maybe keep that in mind. However, you'd think that after all the copies they've sold, the publisher would have upgraded it by now.
