I just….. wow. I really didn’t see that coming. and I DEFINITELY didn’t see the second hidden little jab coming either. This was an emotional rollercoaster of a book but it kept me on my toes!!

Eh. Feels equally like a good idea only half executed, and a bandaid ending when they couldn't find the right one. Also the pov from his side is generally gross, honestly.

I have very mixed feelings about this book, at first, I was enjoying the book but as it went on it become very all over the place and things didn't add up. For example

when they get the interview with Kelly's stalker Jesse when he mentions seeing her with a cop the cop explains it away as oh it's her husband, he's a cop but in my head if he's a stalker he would know if he was her husband or not just another cop and they don't look into it anymore cop or anyone else in the investigation and that annoyed the hell out of me. Obviously, I know it was done on kind on purpose since they didn't want him to get off anyways but little things like this annoying throughout the book.

The book just turned into a shit storm at the end, and it wasn't a great one it just more made me pissed more than anything and felt like a waste of time.

Oh boy. I did not see that coming. One of the better thriller/murder mysteries I’ve read in awhile. The twist was WILD although in hindsight I shouldn’t have been too shocked.

I had to finish this in one day because I just couldn’t take the suspense. There was practically a new suspect every four chapters. A thrilling read and ooof the way the ending made me head spin. I did find it weird though that Sarah was never a suspect. The wife of a man who cheated on her would totally be a suspect in the murder of a mistress. Also coffee was brought up more often than not. Adam is quite possibly the dumbest innocent person in existence.
