5.0

Alice Feeney sure knows how to write a thriller that keeps you guessing to the very last page. I was hooked on this book and it left me breathless a couple times from the intensity of the suspense.

The ending was dark and twisty right until the last page. I like that some characters turned out to be more than they first seem.

But I found that up until about half way through the book I wasn’t gripped. I think “tension” was added at bits it shouldn’t have in the first half; we are just getting to know the characters. But after this point i found myself invested and wondering… who killed them?

4.0

4.5 stars • 1/2 ebook 1/2 audiobook • I really enjoyed this - I loved that there was not one but two unreliable narrators, with a ‘he said, she said’ dynamic that left the reader guessing who did it right up until the end (and I did NOT call it in the slightest!)

Some of the things in this book were sickening. I really wish the book had killed off more characters than it did, honestly (a lot of male characters that were happy to take advantage of young girls, mainly.) A lot of it was disturbing for so, so many reasons, and not in a good way. In a large way, everyone in the book is a villain in some form. You're not sad when any of them die other than the last two. To a point, the real villains are oddly so villainous they aren't even believable. (Like the fur coat thing was Cruella level)

I did guess who the killer was almost the first time meeting them. I kept suspecting it at certain points but the book kept me second guessing myself until the end. Did it surprise me? Yes. Did I think it was believable... ish. Did I like 90% of what happened in the book? No. Did I like the mystery? I'm honestly not sure since I like to be surprised but I'm not sure I liked these surprises.

This book was very twisty, but it felt like the main focus was to keep me guessing about who did it much more than about the plot. It was fun, but not very deep and I expect to forget I read it by this time next year. Great for a plane ride or a thriller fix, but nothing memorable.
