dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

This one took me a while to get into but once I did it flew by. I predicted parts of it but others I didn’t see coming. Overall a good thriller and the plot twist at the end I didn’t see coming.

I had really high hopes for this book but was very disappointed. 

While I will admit, I didn’t see ANY of the plot twists playing out the way they did, I found the book overall very boring. It was filled with unnecessary bits, certain bits were left unexplained and overall half the book didn’t need to be there. I would have enjoyed it much more if all the fluff wasn’t there.

Overall enjoyed this book, but it was a slightly

anti climactic ending and I almost wish it had more oomph, even though I looooved the karmic ending

. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys semi-thriller books

4.5* This was an Amazon First Reads book I chose and wow, I'm glad I chose it!  Now I want to read all the books by the author! 
I couldn't put it down, you just need to know what's happening and how it ends.  The story flowed really well and the ending was wrapped up in a nice bow ☺️

Could not put this book down. Very entertaining thriller, especially if you don’t think too hard about it. A lot of diverse characters which I appreciate. There are identity politics mentioned but it didn’t retract too much from the story. Can’t wait to read more from this author!
