This one was a struggle to get through. The premise drew me in and actually kept me sticking with the book but it was a tough one to hang with. Nothing much happened until near the end. Then just like a whirlwind in was in and out and over. Before I knew it, it was back to boring. Although an important topic, it really wasn't believable. There was so little on Matthew Strong until the end, that he didn't come across as a terrifying, evil villain but more of a reckless, ignoramus. Our main character, Allie, seems to be strong but at the same time a bit narcissistic. She was a hard character to like. I think this story could've been great but it really fell flat for me.
