GOODNESS GRACIOUS.
If you like psychological thriller,give this a go! This one blew my mind. I would've never predicted the story was gonna go this way just by reading the blurb. 
It truly surprised me, as a person who's a fan of thrillers (in all sorts of media) and still I didn't even predict what's going on. 

I got this book second hand so I had no idea the roller coaster i was about to experience. Truly amazing and I even finished reading the acknowledgments at the end, and now want my copy signed by Fitzek hahah. 

Just be aware it is indeed pretty tense and dark. I was initially reading this before bedtime and had to change to a different book to read before bed lol. 

Make sure to read the content warning prior reading this book too! Cuz a lot of triggering themes are involved

Was für ein seltsames Buch. Es ist mein zweiter Versuch mit einem Buch dieses Autoren, und es hat mich so gar nicht überzeugen wollen. Eine sehr unglaubwürdige Geschichte mit unrealistischen Handlungen und Charakteren die praktisch alle drei Kapitel ihre Persönlichkeit wechseln. Ab einem bestimmten Punkt springt die Handlung von Plottwist zu Plottwist, und es wird mit jedem Male lächerlicher. Man sollte es nicht übertreiben mit den Plottwists, nimmt der Geschichte irgendwie jegliche Spannung. Das Ende fühlte sich für mich an wie an den Haaren herbeigezogen, als ob Fitzek am Anfang der Geschichte nicht einmal selbst wusste, wie es enden sollte. Die Idee hinter dem Buch fand ich sehr interessant, Teile der Handlung haben mich aber und zu fesseln können. Vor daher 2 von 5 Sternen.
