A fun thriller with twists that will keep readers guessing. It leaves you with the question: which is stronger? Greed? Or love?

It's been a long time since I read something where I wanted to scream at the main character this much. But at the same time, this definitely kept me engrossed and turning the pages. Didn't love the ending and certain things felt a little unbelievable, but not a bad time overall.

It was about 100 pages too long, and had some unnecessary plot lines IMO. It took it a long time to get good, but it did get good

Mark was a walking red flag and I knew he was involved pretty early on.

I quite enjoyed this book. It's quite short, easy to read and easy to follow.

It was quite far fetched for the most part - but for me, that's what kept me interested, the need to find out what they're going to do next.

Erin was just such a questionable character who kept making bad decisions and basically asking to get murdered.

Considering how well the book started off, the ending was a real let down. I just feel like there could've been a lot more to it.
