From the very first page, this novel is a masterclass in suspense, igniting an urgency in me that was palpable. Ashley delivers a high level of detail and research with the meticulous care she takes to weave in intricate details about online behaviour and privacy, which will undoubtedly make readers reconsider just how much they share about themselves in the digital world. You'll find yourself questioning your own online habits long after turning the last page. 

Readers are vividly transported to the chilling landscape of Winnipeg, Canada. The -20° temperatures practically leap off the page, and I felt as if I was walking the snow-covered streets alongside the characters. The incorporation of fascinating local trivia and true crime snippets throughout the narrative kept me engrossed, even leading me down some thrilling rabbit holes of my own! ( the U-Haul baby case is not for the faint-hearted 

One of the standout elements of this novel is how Ashley navigates the complex dynamics of family relationships. The lengths one would go to protect their loved ones resonate throughout the story. I found myself wanting to reach through the pages and give Blaise a good kick in the shins! Harlow's struggles in dealing with her at times were so relatable; it's that kind of writing that truly makes the characters feel real and their experiences painfully authentic.
