Publisher's summary

Kelsey has lived most of her life in a shadow of suspicion, raised to see danger everywhere. Her mother hasn't set foot outside their front door in 17 years, since she escaped from her kidnappers with nothing but her attacker's baby growing inside her - Kelsey. Kelsey knows she's supposed to keep a low profile and stay off the grid for their protection, but that plan is shattered when her dramatic car accident and rescue by volunteer firefighter and classmate Ryan Baker sparks media coverage. A few days later, she arrives home to find her mother missing. Now, to have a chance at a future, Kelsey will have to face her darkest fears. Because someone is coming for her. And the truth about the past may end up being the most dangerous thing of all.

A Great YA romance, thriller, and suspense book!

I loved this book! The narration was perfect! She kept the ton of fear all way through, even in the slower parts. The romance between Ryan and Kelsey was so awkward and affordable! The mystery and tension was really interesting and scary! I thought that the themes of "fear" "secrets" "lies" "family" and "inherited fears" was incredible compelling! Just read this book!

Good book for a teen or young adult.

This book was easy to listen to, but left me feeling like I had just read something along the lines of Twilight. NOT for anything supernatural, just for the age group. Definitely NOT what I would consider an adult novel. If you're younger, you'll probably enjoy it.

too much panic mode

I did dose off a few times but didn't need to rewind. story was mostly about being in constant fear, not even knowing why.

Kept me riveted

I love a book that keeps my interested without the need to be vulgar. It was action packed and suspenseful. So sad it’s over!

I can't remember, were there spiders? 😜

Basic writing style with a lot of "he said," ""she said," and tell instead of show. I would've thrown down my phone if it mentioned the spiders one more time; we get it! *BUT* I read it quickly and the plot was interesting. Sometimes I rolled my eyes at the teen love drama and the reader's accents, but overall it kept me interested.
