Very satisfying read! High tension, ending that makes sense, and you really don’t know if Sara’s narration is past or present.
Even the characters were sympathetic even though they were terrible people and I hated what they did to Sara and especially Lucy. It’s fitting that only Vincent survived and he was the only one who actually didn’t partake in Lucy’s assault and murder. Lucy was a great character and I loved her relationship with Sara, wish they had run off together. In the elevator, I did find myself sympathizing with Sylvie though she threw Sara under the bus and had a hand in Lucy’s death. Still, good book by a talented author.

Review: 
This was my first time reading a book by Megan so i wasnt sure what to expect but im so glad this was a successful New to Me Author Read. 

The Characters Diversity is what i loved most cause not alot of Thriller's feature 8 different Characteristics that arent the same which i think made this book even better. 

The Setting was very interesting since ive never read a book featuring Wall Street Bankers and Investors before which i think was a good dynamic for a Thriller. I especially loved all the Twists and Turns as well as the Shocking ending cause i did not expect said Character to be the killer, i thought for sure it was Sylvie.

Overall a Phenomenal Thriller even tho i do wish this was part of a series cause i'd love to see how some of the characters lives are now!!
