I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook, not only the elements of the story were captivating but so was  the voice reading it. I have a preference for the beginning of the story with Delilah's perspective and wish I could have had more of it throughout the story. Didn't necessarily like the final outcome but the story was good all along ! The TW were a little triggering at first but the story moves a different direction and takes a different perspective. Definitely recommend if you like these kind of mystery.

This was an amazing mystery/thriller. I was hooked from the very beginning and was wondering what happened to Delilah, Shelby, and Meredith the entire time. I never saw it coming! I recommend to anyone who likes mysteries or thrillers!!

O plot twist é forçado e ruim, não tem aquela tensão construída para que haja uma revelação, ela só veio do nada, mudando completamente e desnecessariamente a personalidade de um personagem para que se encaixasse no plot twist. A história começa boa, mas o resto dela é muito forçada.

I will definitely be reading more books from this author. I didn't want to put this one down and definitely didn't see the ending coming. I like to be hanging on for the next development and fully surprised by outcomes. This was a great read!

Spoiler

moral of the story: dont drink and drive kids 👍

 

at 70% I  knew how the last 30% was going to go which is not how I like it. I like when the last 30% is so full of twists you cant sit straight. however, saying that, throughout the book my face did fall open in shock :O when things were getting intense.

some people have said they didn't like the writing style but i feel like it gave us an almost 360 view without the book dragging on.
