I did not expect to like this book as much as I did, but I found it to be incredible. I read it in a single day as I found it difficult to put down because things were changing to quickly and maintained my excitement throughout.
The changing of POVs was done appropriately and smoothly. Each character did bring something notable to the story, even if it wasn’t clear in the moment. All things tied together one way or another and the ending had me shook. While all the characters were dark and unlikeable, that was the point of the story.
When I thought everything was settled and concrete, another curveball came through and knocked me off balance. Even right until the last paragraphs of the book. Calling it a thriller is an understatement.
I definitely recommend this book.
