Not impressed with this one, it was more of a tedious read for me

I was confused in the beginning pages, at one point it makes you think Faith is 13 then it goes on to say she's been in an institution for years, so then you wonder how old is she? I think she's 23 or so and in and out of mental hospitals all those years, so she gets released after all this time and she has to attend meetings everyday for one addiction or another, but yet throughout the book she is drinking all the time and it goes on and on about it over and over

I finally had to skip the biggest part of the middle and get to the part where you find out who was behind the horrific murder of her family and friends and the reason? greed

I read a lot of thrillers in this same genre and sometimes you can tell if it's well written or not by 100 pages and for me this is not, just has too much descriptions of the same thing over and over

The last few pages of the book where she goes back to the cabin of the crime was an eye opener
