There were some twists and shifting dynamics that kept it interesting. Even at the end it wasn't totally clear who the bad guy was, although it's possible that I was a bit zoned out and just missed a definitive conclusion

You know a good thriller when it keeps you interested after the first few pages.
It’s well written with Gia who is bold, bossy and boastful; and Abby who is ethical, works all the time and tends to please people. Everything revolves around the emotions of Gia – the girl with the money. Her father, Hugo Torres, recently passed leaving her with a $14 million estate and a good chunk of comfort funds.
Shortly after that, Gia was enchanted with Garrett, who of course was charming and handsome. Within a month, they were engaged and three months later married against her friend’s judgement. Abby didn’t go to the wedding. And now Gia was pleading with Abby to join her in Sweden to see the northern lights and added that her attractive, single brother would also be there. How could Abby say no to this trip complete with first-class airline tickets? She was a hard-working lawyer and needed a vacation.
We know something was going to happen. And with a few clues, it wasn’t too hard to make basic predictions half way through. It’s a perfect beach read and easy plot to get caught up in the passionate romance and dreamy images of life on a beautiful Greek island. This would be the type of book that would be fun to watch as a movie.
My thanks to Bantam and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book with an expected release date of July 9, 2024.

I'm not super sure how I feel about this book. I was really enjoying it at first and excited to see where it was going, but the pacing was just off. It just never got going. Like stuff happened, crazy shit, but it just wasn't impactful? I'm not sure. I'm curious to read the reviews and see if others felt like this too.

Ladykiller is not a genre I read often. When I do indulge it's often fun. If you have this one on your TBR, go in blind. I think it would be a lot more interesting if you do. I often go into my books without reading the synopsis and I feel like if I had read this one I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.
There is a lot that is going on in this story. Between all the drama, the backstabbing, and the unreliable narratives you have a lifelong friendship and a little romance. Grab some snacks and enjoy.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
