Amazing book!

The way I hate Jack with every fibre of my being shows me that B. A. Paris can write the hell out of a character!

Millie is a hero, love her! And I knew I was going to like Esther. 

I would have liked the ending to maybe have a bit more substance and shock factor, but it gets 5 stars from me anyway!

Favourite book of 2024 so far.

Mediocre at best. No interesting twists or plot points. Just a dark story.

I don't know if "enjoyed" is the correct word for my reading experience but I couldn't put it down. The suspense is real.

I posted my full review on Medium: http://tiny.cc/ghjuyz (there are many spoilers in the full post)

TLDR: 

• very entertaining and kept my interest
• somewhat predictable twists
• I would recommend, especially to psychological thriller fans
