5.0

I loved this book.

Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.

Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.

It had a slow start and multiple  unlikeable and unreliable narrators. About three quarters of the way through I found I could not put it diwn. It was a clever ending, but I wish it had been revealed in less of a direct way.  The audiobook narrator was excellent. It's a interesting thriller where no one can or should be trusted.  I enjoyed it.

The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger and oh I wish it wasn’t! It was a good choice I’m just greedy with endings.

3.0

I was excited to solve the mystery of the book when I first started it but by the end it just felt so dragged out. I mean you guess most of the stuff not even half way through the book and the surprises aren’t so shocking. Not a bad book overall but I wouldn’t reach for it again.
