Milly is the child of a serial killer, her mother. From the first page, I was pulled in! This story is a captivating pull between the good and evil that Milly feels she is. On one hand, Milly couldn’t take it any longer and to save the next child from harm; turns in her mother to authorities. The other hand, Milly misses her mother terribly and still has a deep love for her. Throughout the story, Milly wrestles with the weight and guilt of what she did, all the while trying to chase her own demons. I enjoyed the story. I do feel the ending was a bit predictable but overall a great psychological thriller.

I did not like her writing style. I really felt this book was predictable and dry. Also very vague at times. So much potential, with disappointing execution.

Good story, I liked the writing style. No big shocks but a great read for someone that doesn't try to predict what's going to happen next. Still enjoyed the book.
