What a great plottwist!
It's a good modern spin on a classic Greek tragedy.

The book has some flaws which can be forgiven if you don't take it to seriously.

Holy wild ride. This book took a little while to catch my attention in the beginning, but it did eventually and things got crazy. typically i can see a twist coming or at least consider the idea before it happens, idk if i was just off my game but i did NOT see this one coming. if you like books with one big twist, definitely give this a shot.

This held my attention the whole time. I finished it in half a day and wish I would’ve read slower so I could’ve caught all the 🚩🚩🚩but I was just so excited to get to the end. My only issues was that the way it’s written, it’s being narrated to us and at times I would get frustrated with the 3rd person POV.

I usually figure out thrillers ahead of time, but this one had even me fooled- definitely worth a read. I actually said "WHAT THE F***" out loud at one point!

dark medium-paced

3.5

I listened to the audiobook, and it was definitely a chilling and unexpected story with engaging characters. However, with all of the suspense-building and various characters with odd motives around it left a lot of loose threads.
