This was pretty solid. It moved quickly, but I didn't get super connected to it. Maybe too many POVs?

maeverose's review against another edition

This was my first attempt at a thriller, I only picked it for the cover tbh. I’d suggest skipping it.

The first third was somewhat interesting, but then it derailed for me. There are too many characters and povs, some of which seemed to have been thrown in unnecessarily. I also really don’t like to read about stalkers so it got a bit triggering for me. I looked up how it ends and it wouldn’t have been worth it to keep reading.

It also really felt like it was going to have a ‘childhood trauma and mental illness makes you homicidal or a stalker’ Kind of take, as the two antagonists seemed to be the only characters in the entire book with mental illness issues (besides Hannah’s mom, who was also just a shitty person). This came out last year. We’re done with that trope. That should never have been a trope to begin with.

Thankfully I got this for free at a little free library so I didn’t waste my money.

I was intrigued from the beginning. I was able to predict some of the twists, and I didn’t find any of the characters particularly likeable, but that didn’t bother me much since I enjoyed the suspense of still trying to figure out how we got there. The pacing was good for the most part, and I would recommend this one for readers who enjoy a good locked-room mystery.
