This was an incredible thriller. I absolutely loved it. It was twisty and kept me guessing until the end!

 If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend you do so now, hell, like yesterday. This book is well deserving of 5 stars. I'm so shook and excited and anxious all in once... all good, though. I am a thriller book girl through and through even if I read other genres, so when I recommend a thriller trust and believe it's because the book is amazing.
This book hit all the right vibes for a thriller that I think I am still processing what I read. Absolutely loved this.

I don't feel the triggers are strong but mentioned them either way since everyone perceives things differently. It is an intense medium to fast paced mystery/thriller book.

Somewhat convoluted, but still very good! It definitely had you guessing. Perfect who-dunnit.
