"Major spoilers!!!<br/><br/><br/><br/>To begin with, I must say that I was able to predict one of the plot twists early on. Specifically, I surmised that the man responsible for kidnapping and murdering young girls was doing so in an attempt to find a "replacement" for his deceased daughter. However, I was uncertain of how the author would incorporate the fate of his daughter into the story - whether she had passed away tragically or fallen ill and he was seeking out girls who resembled her. It took me some time to realize that the perspective of Madison, one of the protagonists, was not that of Lola, but rather of another girl who had been taken captive. I believe the author skillfully executed the plot twist and built up to the final reveal quite effectively. All in all, I found this story to be quite enjoyable and would be interested in reading more from Megan in the future."
"I was hooked, fast read, very good! My jaw didn’t drop at the twist cause it wasn’t totally unexpected. Great book though!"

"This was a great read! The book is a about Drew looking for his girlfriend that went missing a few weeks back. While Marie has been found on a ditch at another time, she can’t remember who she is, where she came from. Her Dad goes to the police station and is able to verify her information and identity and is able to take Marie safely home. Drew is still searching and going above and beyond to find any clues about his girlfriend’s whereabouts, he comes across a lead from someone who might’ve seen his girl at a town few hours away. He takes the drive and tries to get the police of that town involved but they don’t seem to be able to believe him or being able to help.
The ending of this book shattered me! Its really good, the plot twist, the characters are so easy to understand their actions. I read the book and listen to the audiobook for the most part and the performance on audible was impecable. Its a fast read too, super easy to follow and very interesting. "
