I did not see one thing coming, but I feel like that wasn’t the biggest reveal. This kept me entertained, but it was nothing amazing. The main character was kind of annoying and made stupid decisions. I also didn’t love the ending.
I think if you’re new to thrillers this one is good, but if you’re read a few or a lot this would be nothing special.
