dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

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.

this may have to be my new favorite by Freida. i loved how you couldn't tell which narrator was the more reliable one. as per usual, she kept me guessing the whole time!

Intriguing and full of twists ✨

“After all, there’s nothing that binds two people like a shared secret.”

I was in a terrible reading slump, and this book got me out of it. I enjoyed how easy it was to get into, and the writing style, twist, and different personalities hooked me. I wasn't sure what to expect because I went in blind, but I wanted to get more into thrillers, and this did not disappoint.

The plot was well-developed, and the twists weren't predictable! I enjoyed that each character was layered, and pieces were revealed as the story progressed. I was constantly jotting down different theories and explanations to see if I could solve the mystery before it got revealed. I have to admit that I was shocked a few times! This book had me thinking, gasping, and buzzed with excitement to reach the end.

Overall, this was a solid read. I'd recommend this book, especially to people getting into thrillers☺️! Side note unexpectedly I did learn a lot about 🐢🤣.

3.0

This was an 'ok' book. Not bad but, definitely, not great. The plot was sloppy and kinda confusing towards the end. And predictable: when we read Natalie's perspective of things and then read Dawn's messages there are so little things in common that I understood the plot. The only thing left was understanding the 'why' and when I got there it was just 'ok'.

I was expecting more.
