Ok read

I wonder how this will continue in a series. I think I’m invested enough to purchase book 2... I wish the narrator was better with distinguishing different voices for characters .. if she can work on that she will be good..with that said I’ve heard way worse... The main character was frustrating but a lot of people in abusive relationships come off that way because outsiders don’t understand the trauma bond created in these scenarios. The story was ok and I’d purchase again from this author.

Bruised to healed

A nice storyline with well-developed characters, a little predictable, but a great ending still, I enjoyed, listening to this old book in less than two days!

Okay

I just did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. Carlie was annoying throughout and I didn't care much for the way the story was pieced together. It was an interesting read, but I didn't develop any attachment to any of the characters or even find myself caring if they lived or died, which made it hard for me to want to move on to the next book in the series.

Needed more suspense

The author didn't leave anything for the imagination. It was easy to figure out the plot

Story had no real plot

The book had no real consistency in the story, no real plot just jumped around, was more like someone giving a summary 👎🏿

Good book

I like a book that starts off with a bang and keeps your attention. I wanted to scream at Charlie for a minute for being so stupid. I was mad at her dad. Because he is supposed to be a hit man. What hitman allow another man live after beating his daughter. Overall I am interested to see what happens in book two. It is a good book.🙂
