The threads get tenuous and the plot points feel sloppy in parts, but this is a fun thriller with an innovative premise--three triplets who do murder? I'm already intrigued!
Ren DeStefano humanizes her murderer-protagonist more than other thrillers I've read recently, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the insight into Sissy's relationship with her sisters and her turmoil over her potential first kill, having selected a mark she grows to love. I wasn't expecting the development of Sissy's relationship with Edison's stepdaughter, which is another oddly tender aspect of this book. While the ending genuinely surprised me, I wish it weren't so rushed; I wanted to explore its lead-up more.
Again, this could use some tightening/clean-up, but I enjoyed it--and I think other popcorn thriller fans will too.
