J’ai rien compris, la timeline est embrouillée, la fin est abrupte alors même que je me disais que ça commençait à s’éclaircir un peu, et l’histoire n’a juste aucun intérêt ? Certes les interrogations sont levées mais vraiment j’ai l’impression d’avoir perdu mon temps en lisant ce livre.

This is my first book by this author and I must say I enjoyed her writing style and how she dives into her characters.
I liked how it was a fast paced thriller/ mystery and not a book I had to over think. The characters were diverse and took some figuring out (in a good way). I also enjoyed getting to read in reverse; as this book is written with the big “events” in the beginning and you read back in time to find out how everything came to be as it was.
The only cons for me was trying to remember that I was reading in reverse because sometimes you would forget and something would either not make sense (yet) or with the way they were segmented in time frames it was hard to realize things were not happening in real time. So settings and characters were hard to track for me.

This was a fan-freaking-tastic read! I loved every minute of it and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to put the pieces together. This has been one of my first thrillers in a long time and it made me fall back in love with the genre again. I love how everything was kind of wrapped up and explained in the end and the ending in general. This is a quick must read for anyone looking for an easy to get through thriller!
