Pretty predictable plot.

For the first 75-80% of this book, I was hooked. Though I had suspicious about one of the twists, I thought it was well done and I was fully engaged. However, the last part of the book dragged and felt too over the place.
If Kibica had chosen either one of Sadie's alters or Will being the killer/mastermind, I think it would have sat better with me.
I felt the last half of the book had way too much exposition, which perhaps could have been present throughout but I forgave it before the plot frustrations hit.
It felt messy that the first half of the book really emphasized Imogen's issues and she wasn't mentioned at all until the very end. It also felt messy that Oliver's darkness was hinted it, then very heavily emphasized for a chapter, then completely gone again.

Great read! It did not end the way I was expecting it to and I loved the twists and turns in the last part of the book too. 🙂 the last part also had some colorful reactions from me that I’m not going to repeat, but I’ll say they were some OMG and woah moments. I was glad my best friend recommended this one to me 🙂 If you like thrillers, especially domestic and psychological thrillers, give this book a read, it won’t disappoint!!

Very well written. Perfect amount of twists. I found this book to be very suspenseful and traumatic at times. A little hard to read the content when it got dark. Overall a great read. I can’t wait to see the series on Netflix!
