This whole book is a wild ride from beginning to end. The dialogue was a little clunky but the twists were things I never saw coming.

This book is a wild ride.  I truly never knew what was going to happen next, which was refreshing in a thriller - I've found many of them to be a little formulaic lately.  

I will say, there is a lot going on.  I had a long break in the middle when I had to return the book and wait for my turn again, and when I finally got it back I needed a big refresher on characters and motives.  

Would have given it a full 5 for entertainment and surprise, but there were a few times where the author commented on some of the female characters physical appearance a little too much and in a way that felt kind of gross.  Not sure how to explain, just very male gaze-y, and I didn't like it.  Also the whole thing with the cop writing limericks felt off to me.  Of course
it paid off and was relevant eventually because the poetry in his pocket is what got him fired and allowed Lily's attack to seem more like defense.


There is also a sequel, which I will probably read because the book does end off on a big cliff hanger. 

There is one graphic description of violence against an animal, but it is skippable and does not affect the story line.
