While this book has very difficult scenes related to rape, abduction and assault the victim is not only treated with respect but is the heroine. Worth the read but be warned if these topics are triggering this may not be the book for you.

If you like criminal minds- you’ll love this! 

Pacing is a little off, basically the whole book leads up to a couple of pages of non stop action. 

However, it was really entertaining and I liked it! 

HUGE TRIGGER WARNINGS THOUGH.

It's been awhile since I've gotten into a crime drama type book and this was a great choice to get back into the genre. This was fast-paced but with an engaging plot that didn't feel rushed. I actually imagined this as a film, and after a quick Google search I saw that JLo has been trying to get this adapted (which makes me really excited TBH).
