I’m struggling with how to rate this one. The hunt for the killer was interesting and I did enjoy the wild ride but then there was a lot that frustrated me. There’s a lot of description of things that aren’t that important like room layouts or her drive to work that slows down the pace. The premise is right up my street though, with a forensic psychologist who survived her own attack from a serial killer. A killer who happened to be her father. 

 

Olivia’s bought in to help on an active case which is something she’s always refused to do. You have to suspend belief because there is no way a real case would be run this way with all the key players being personally involved. Olivia didn’t even seem to be that good at her job. She also tells us how much self defense she’s done and she’s prepared and then makes so many stupid decisions. If there’s a killer out to get you do you invite two different strangers into your home? 

 

Her reaction to a certain terrible event made me so mad. I don’t understand how she was trying to defend that horrific action. Then the ending was ridiculous. It could’ve been solved so easily if she knew how to do her job and let the police do theirs. 

 

I will say that the killer kept me guessing and I was definitely surprised by the reveal. Olivia’s father was also an interesting character. I would be still be tempted to read a second book to see if Olivia has been developed.  

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley and this is my honest review
