This was super fast paced and a fun time. It’s a really interesting concept that kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t love the last 150 pages because of the direction it took, but it was still thrilling. I liked the characters and I liked the romance what can I say. Also the fact that this had 77 chapters made me happy( if you know you know). If you want a fast paced entertaining thriller I would recommend this.

Holy sh*t this is one tense, heart pumping, nail biting ride. When the adrenaline stops coursing through my veins, I'll try to sit down and write a proper review....

I enjoyed this one a lot. It hooked me from the start and while I predicted the plot twist, I really liked the book still! Would recommend if you like psychological thrillers.
