3.5

Dit duurde voor mijn gevoel echt 3 jaar van mn leven om door dit boek heen te komen, maar zoals ik al had verwacht begint het echte spannende gebeuren pas enige tijd over de helft. Side note: think ff twice als je deze wilt lezen als je ook al ‘Verity’ hebt gelezen, want daardoor werd dit boek voor mij nog langdradiger dan dat het eigenlijk had hoeven zijn. Uiteraard wel echt weer fantastische plottwists en het is gewoon echt een psychologische thriller

Fun! Frieda McFadden's books aren't the most original, but they are a good time!
