There was no need to connect one of the characters to a side story of another character. Too much effort to tie up loose ends.

If I could give a book more than 5 ⭐️, I’d slap a hundred stars on this one! 🥰🥳

This book is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! With every gasp and WTF moment, I swear I almost had a stroke 😂

This is what a thriller should be—it thrills you! I loved every chapter (short and snappy, just how I like it), every POV, every messed-up character. It made me feel everything.

This book played with my emotions and my brain—and trust me, I read a lot of thrillers, but this one? This one toyed with me 🤯

The only bad thing? I’m not sure any other thriller will top this. The bar just got ridiculously high. This is the best book I read so far. Good job David Ellis 👏👏👏

Rating: 5 f*cking stars! 🔥🔥🔥
