This book had a bunch of twists and turns. It turned out to be unexpected
in certain scenarios, with me chucking my theories out the window! The author kept my attention with the plot & I enjoyed this book.

I haven't read a book like this in a LONG time where I thought I knew where it was going and I was completely wrong. I got whiplash multiple times and loved it! I wish I could wipe my memory and read it again.

I wasn’t sure where the twists and turns were going to go which is very nice in a thriller. The book wasn’t wrapped up very well at all though and felt unfinished. It was sometimes lazy/weak writing, but overall enjoyable and quick to read.

There better be a sequel to this!!! Fast-paced, dual POV that has you rooting for both female MCs. There’s some predictability in character arcs, but that only adds to the suspense!
