WOW! I rarely give 5* to a thriller, but I was completely transfixed by this stunning debut. Annie O’Sullivan is a young real estate agent in a city on Vancouver Island BC, who is abducted from an open house one sunny August Sunday.

I have one more book to read by this author. She has rapidly become one of my favorite authors. This book was truly amazing and you will never see the twist coming. I surely didn't. This book and author is AMAZING and I HIGHLY recommend you try one of her books today. Start with this one, it's one you won't be able to put down. I PROMISE!!!

I didn't like this book. It was my first book by Chevy Stevens and I am not convinced I would want to read another one (not just yet, anyway).

What a load of BULL!!!! ...more
