Just the kind of dark and twisty I didn’t know I needed. Saw a few of the plot twists coming and some I knew there was something more but wasn’t sure how they were connected until the reveal at the end. 

Again with the amnesia with this one. Not mad about it though. And with the podcaster sidekick. Enjoyed this one more than the last though. Had no idea what I was getting myself into with this story. Literally just looked for available mystery/thrillers in Libby and 🎉 tada!🎉 

Will definitely be checking out the authors other books. 🤞🏻I feel the same way about the others.

idk if it's really a 5 star thriller or if I'm just emotional because I'm 4 days sober from those fun life ruining opiates but either way, I can't think of any way to improve this one so I suppose it's a 5 star 🤷🏼‍♀️. plus it's beautifully written and the characters are so real you can taste them.
