"But in this moment, he decides he’s not going to run from himself anymore, not going to be afraid anymore. Tomorrow morning, he will confront The Monster."

This is a complex thriller spanning multiple countries with a large cast of characters. At first none of their stories seem connected.

I do struggle to enjoy books like this that have so many moving parts. It never felt cohesive enough for me to fully enjoy.

Thank you St Martin's press for giving me an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was lucky to receive an early copy of this book from NetGalley, and I was so happy to read it! Another book by the author that hooked me immediately! It reads so fast because you need to know what will happen, and you will be constantly trying to figure out what is going on! I don’t want to say too much and give anything away, but if you are a fan of the author you will definitely want to pick this one up! If you haven’t read Alex Finlay’s work before then go ahead and start with this one. You won’t be disappointed!

PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is the epitome of a thriller!! It's an exhilarating, compulsive, heart pounding, suspenseful, unputdownable thriller that will keep you hooked until the very end!! The anticipation, mystery, drama, tension, action, secrets, lies, revenge, fast pacing, short chapters, twists after pulse-pounding twist and multiple storylines that are seamlessly woven together is what makes this an unpredictable MASTERPIECE!! I tremendously enjoyed this anxiety driven journey and it is another thriller to put on my favorites list for 2024!! 💙💙💙💙💙

Ryan finds himself trapped in the haunting memories of that dreadful night. Despite no evidence linking him to the disappearance of Ali, suspicion shadows Ryan, fueled by relentless podcasters and internet trolls. Now, under a new identity and pursuing a degree in law, Ryan believes he's left his past behind. However, a call from his father during a summer trip to Italy changes everything! As Ryan embarks on a quest for the truth, he encounters unexpected allies, including a young deputy sheriff in Kansas and a mobster in Philadelphia, each holding keys to unraveling the mystery. 

In conclusion, I was totally blown away by this stunning thriller and I cannot recommend it enough!! All the amazing stars!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
