4.0
This was an intriguing and fast paced thriller, with plenty of twists and turns. I really thought I had this figured out from the start, but to McFadden’s credit, I was wrong and the twists just kept coming. I was hooked throughout and sped through this without realising.
That being said I wasn’t really a fan of any of the characters in this book, i found them unlikable and Brooke really didn’t seem to trust her instincts at the most crucial times which had me frustrated.
Overall, a really enjoyable and fun read that I could totally see being made into a movie. I’d recommend to anyone that loves a twisty thriller and doesn’t mind slightly outlandish plots points!
