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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the most fun book I've read in a very long time, and by far the best mystery book I have ever read. I was thoroughly engaged the entire time and couldn't put it down! I got through it so fast. So many twists and turns, it constantly kept me guessing. SUCH a fun and engaging read.

This book was fast-paced, but it was surprisingly easy and fun to read too. It was not very convoluted in terms of plot, since you did not have to focus so much on the details. It was just fun and thrilling and I genuinely liked the plot a lot!

There is only menial mentions of drug use in this book. The themes of murder and kidnapping are very present indeed. Also this book has a major plot of unethical sexual relationships, so they are something to be considered if you are a minor. But it is nothing majorly serious (especially for me, I am not sure how it may impact others), so genuinely I believe if ou are 13+ then you can read this book.

A great mystery story with a diverse cast of believeable characters. I read this as an audiobook, and the voice acting was also top-notch. YA Fiction suitable for 14+ but very enjoyable for adults too! Lots of trigger warnings (as you might expect for a murder/thriller) but compelling and engaging, and well worth a read.
