Description
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 seventeen 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.

- (3/5)This house is a fortress, that's what I have always known. Kelsey lives with her mother and from a young age has been taught how to survive. On her drive home from a tutoring session she swerved to miss hitting another car. When she regains consciousness she is dangling over a cliff and the cute boy she tutors is harnessed to her telling her not to panic. The story starts out with lots of action and ends with a satisfying conclusion. It feels like the middle as the secrets unfold and connect there is a bit too much repetition but I still enjoyed it. Great characters development and all characters that really tie the story together.
- (3/5)Not my favorite of hers just because her books are usually a lot more realistic
- (1/5)Grade school writing, not enjoyable. Didn’t bother finishing reading it.
- (4/5)It was a well written book. Quick read/listen. The narrator did a great job at keeping pace with high intensity times.

- (5/5)One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. So much action. And the reader does such an amazing job!
