4.0

Aside from the main character this book had a lot of potential. But I felt like a lot of the choices she made were just so horribly stupid it made her unlovable as a character.

Like even if you thought someone could be framing you

…the choices she was making made her look awful. Straight dumb and you’re supposed to be a doctor ma’am? I felt like I was yelling at her the entire book. The overall storyline is actually good if you can get over the personality of the main character.

Why am I reading these books that clearly aren’t for me?

My favourite Freida McFadden so far. This was a really fun time, very tense and fast paced and I read about two thirds of it in one day. I really enjoy serial killer thrillers, much more than domestic thrillers which is why I think this one worked really well for me, especially with the added copycat whodunnit which is always a good time. 

At times I found the main character a little inconsistent, but I'm not reading a thriller for the character work so it really wasn't a big deal. Overall a very solid thriller that had me very invested, and one I would be quick to recommend.
