""I am still shaking my head, and trying to catch my breath... Gave me goosebumps. Intense does not even properly describe this gripping thriller. I was gritting my teeth the entire time. I would think I had the mystery solved, and then some new twist would throw me for another loop. Time ceased to exist as I read this book... Whew! Now I need a nap."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""What a wild ride... There were so many twists and turns. I found myself holding my breath a few times. There's lots of action and suspense. I was glued to the pages. The writing is phenomenal."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""So many twists and turns... This was fun and fast-paced and I couldn't put it down until I reached the last page."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Pulled me in from the beginning and it didn't let up... All I can say is hang on to your hat and be prepared for all the twists."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Had me hooked from the very start and the twists and turns and addictive atmosphere of the storm brewing made for an intense read. Lots of mystery, a good amount of feels... An overall suspense-filled delight."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Wow! Hard to review without spoiling it for others so suffice to say that edge-of-your-seat, heart-racing is a great description of how this book made me feel as I read! Twists and turns, power outages and a storm to isolate you... nothing more is needed for a serious page-turner of a book!"" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""An absolute thrill ride of a book from start to finish, with a massive locked room vibe and a murderer on the loose that makes for progressively more intense reading as the book progresses. Throw in a hurricane, relationship tensions, and a bunch of college-aged students who feel trapped, and the story reads like a bomb about to explode."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Unputdownable. I read it through in one sitting into the early hours of the morning, it was such a good read that just dragged me deeper and deeper into the plot... There are several twists that kept me on the edge of my seat."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Had me on an awesome ride!... What a fantastic read and wow what an ending!"" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Loved this book! Literally was in so much misery when I had to put it down I kept wanting more!... This book was a 5 out of 5 for me!"" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""An action-packed and pulse-rising thriller. Power being cut off added an extra layer of angst for the reader. A storm. A daughter in danger. And a past replaying itself... ticked all the eeeeeee trailer boxes right there!"" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ""Amazing story, I found myself relating to Leigh many times and wishing I could jump into the pages and help her case."" Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
