3.0

This was an okay thriller book. The suspense was written very well. However, once I found out what the mystery/threat was I was disappointed. I felt the reactions from characters were strange and unrealistic when certain events played out. I thought the twist was going to have a bit more of a punch and again the characters reaction was just so out of pocket or not enough of a reaction.

I’ve put off reading this book for a while but ended up finishing it in one day because I was so hooked! Plot twists galore and so many times my breath was held in anticipation!
