From NetGalley:
A girl's memory lost in a field of wildflowers.
A killer still spreading seeds.

At seventeen, Tessa became famous for being the only surviving victim of a vicious serial killer. Her testimony put him on death row. Decades later, a mother herself, she receives a message from a monster who should be in prison. Now, as the execution date rapidly approaches, Tessa is forced to confront a chilling possibility: Did she help convict the wrong man?

I enjoyed the beginning of the book, then I noticed it was taking me a long time to read.  It just wasn't  keeping me engaged, so I didn't pick it up much.  Overall, the ending was a bit of a disappointment, but those feeling were building from the lack of enticement.  

Thoughts of Joy

My thanks go to Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing me with this eGalley.

  2. I enjoyed this one--love how the author didn't go into detail about the crime itself and yet we as readers knew it was terrible. The ending though, I found . . . a little disappointing? I'm still not quite sure how to describe my feelings about it. Unsatisfied?

    1. Literary Feline ~ I had high hopes for this one. I'm waiting for one to pull me in. Those Girls has my attention, but it's just the beginning.
