The first bad book this year. I knew my luck was running out (reading so many lovely books in a row) but I didn’t expect it to happen this fast or be this bad. I wish I could get a refund for the time spent reading this.

There’s not one good thing I can say about this book: the plot is hackneyed, the writing is uninspired, the so-called twist was underwhelming, and characters are one dimensional and unlikeable to boot. And I’ve not even gotten to the racism, transphobia and fatphobia: a disgusting trifecta. 

I rarely give books a single star. Since I started actively using Goodreads in 2019, I’ve only done this with 3 books. I reserve this for books that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, whether well written or not. This book has the dubious honour of joining their ranks as Number 4🏆

Congratulations, I guess.

Decent read, very fast paced and easy to get through. Knew the story it wanted to tell and did it in an engaging way. Great little quick thriller/mystery.

This book was pretty flat and boring, and as it progressed the cop character had that exact shitty cop personality that makes the world hate them. And then the BLATANT transphobia where the shitty cop character intentionally misgenders a character made me turn this shitty book off. It sucked, and I’ll never read anything by this author again
