He Will Be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker

4.0

He Will be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker was a book I thought sounded interesting so I decided to request it. I am glad I did because I enjoyed it!

The story focuses on two major characters. Celine and Maggie. Maggie is in New York because her best friend Celine was found dead and the police have determined it to be a suicide. Maggie doesn’t believe it and decides to move into Celine’s apartment not only to clean up her stuff, but to also do some digging to find out the truth behind her death.

There were quite a few twists and turns with this story and I admit it, I didn’t really know who the bad guy was until the end. As Maggie digs, she meets a number of questionable characters and also some trustworthy ones. I thought Tucker did a wonderful job of building out each of the characters in this story as well as layering in pieces of Celine’s journal to provide background to what Celine was really up to.

I can’t say a lot about the details of the story as I don’t want to ruin the mystery for anyone who reads this book. There were one or two parts where I kind of questioned where the story was going and what the characters were doing but overall I enjoyed this one. If you are looking for an Adult Thriller that will keep you guessing, definitely consider checking this one out. I am looking forward to more from Tucker in the future.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the review copy!
