The number of triggers in this book oml... I wished I checked the content warnings before I went in, but I tried to add as many as I can remember under this review. Please read!
An extremely gripping read, nice start to November! As a self-professed thrill-seeker reader I can't stand books that don't have good pacing, slow burn is really not my style. This book keeps you on edge at all times.
Nevertheless, the ending felt a bit rushed. I wished there was more to the escape room tho I would love to have more puzzles to solve. I understand that the escape room is not the main focus of this book, but... don't name it like that if its not ;-; At times the plot seems too convenient, I would prefer everything to happen more organically.
I love how I started out rating this book 4.25 our of 5 stars, but when I wrote my review I gradually decrease it to just 3.5 stars. I still made it to the end and *relatively* not that disappointed, but don't think this is a future reread.

Review:
This was my first time reading a book by Megan so i wasnt sure what to expect but im so glad this was a successful New to Me Author Read.
The Characters Diversity is what i loved most cause not alot of Thriller's feature 8 different Characteristics that arent the same which i think made this book even better.
The Setting was very interesting since ive never read a book featuring Wall Street Bankers and Investors before which i think was a good dynamic for a Thriller. I especially loved all the Twists and Turns as well as the Shocking ending cause i did not expect said Character to be the killer, i thought for sure it was Sylvie.
Overall a Phenomenal Thriller even tho i do wish this was part of a series cause i'd love to see how some of the characters lives are now!!
