4.5 stars: A really solid book with twists that I didn’t expect. I was completely drawn in and didn’t want to put it down. I was a bit disappointed by the ending but would definitely recommend.

Unusual thriller which I enjoyed but with some reservations about the realism of the plot

I loved this book! It was a bit of a slow start, but boy did that soon change!

When I first picked it up, I thought it was going to be the typical lover quarrel that ends sour, but it was everything but! So many twists and turns, some I felt became a little predictable whilst reading, whereas others were completely unexpected!

Usually enjoy this author, but really did not like that everything rested on someone having (what probably is a romanticized vision of) dissociative identity disorder, which feels like a poor plot device.

Really enjoyed this. A little slow at first but once the story got going, it was so good. I predicted the twist, but the intensity and tension was there for like 200 pages. The chapters were in POVs which I like, all in 3rd person though so it made the POV title a little pointless imo.

I think I'd give it 5 if I wasn't able to predict the twist

When I picked this up in a charity shop, I wasn't sure what to expect... I was definitely not disappointed! 
I love an action packed thriller and this one kept me entertained and intrigued throughout!
