This book has sent me absolutely speechless. As a thriller fan usually I find that plots can be predictable and end up disappointing me. SO I DID NOT EXCEPT THIS ROLLERCOASTER!!!

Pippa was an incredible character and her development and care for her family and friends really made me love her. 
At the beginning of the book I thought I was going to have everything figured out right? I thought I knew what was going to happen… but ohhhhhh was I wrong! The twists and turns really gripped me until the last couple of pages.

The writing of the book was really well done and I really enjoyed not only the plot but the way it was written.

Can’t wait to read the next book in the series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ravi was the only logical main character, everyone else made weird, nonsensical decisions. Also, why was the racism against the Singh family just brushed off?
