From the beginning, the author sewed the seeds of mystery surrounding the main and side characters. There's a constant tenseness when flipping through the pages that makes it impossible to put down.
The plot slows at points, but I think it's because I'm so used to watching a thriller. Reading a thriller gives you every single detail you may miss from a fast paced movie. This author does not disappoint. Makes me want to watch it on a screen!

I liked the idea, but didn’t love the execution. Pacing was off, the writing wasn’t great…it felt like it took forever to get to what was obvious. I did like the small bits of history in it, but this thriller barely felt suspenseful.
