Not my favorite Freida, but in true Freida fashion it’s a fun, twisty read.

However, I think if she would’ve said the word “turtle” one more time, my head would’ve exploded.

Frieda McFadden strikes again with another jaw-dropping, edge-of-our-seat thriller. I was able to somewhat guess the big twist this time, but I still couldn’t put the book down and finished it within a day.

Another easy to read, fast-paced, and entertaining book that is expected from this author. Like a lot of her books it starts out with a seemingly predictable plot but then you guessed it…. a twist or two!!! I know this about this author but it still leaves me shook every time. She keeps me glued to the book. 

While I did enjoy the book I have constructive criticism. The first few chapters were a LOT of turtle talk and less substance building for the story. I feel that the word turtle was used when she could have just written “figurine”, “cupcakes, “plush” or anything else. I also feel that overall this one is a bit less “thrilling” than her other books. There were still twists and shocking moments but in comparison to her other books this is a bit more vanilla. If I had read this first I think I would give it a 4/5 but for this one I will give it a 3.75/5. It is still worth the read!!

My suspicions were correct, even about the dead body and who did it. 

Didn't expect the Caleb portion there..... 🤨👎🏻
Natalie- wow 😒 
Dawn- NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT TURTLES! 

I'm happy that there's no more turtle talk.  I swear just the word "turtle" is 40% of the book alone.
