This was a great read for me to get back in to the swing of reading. The plot started off a little slow as you got to know character's personalities, but picked up speed about halfway through as major plot events started happening. Then, the last 50 pages are when the plot twists get GOOD and I did not want to put the book down. Absolutely loved it!!

The ending could not have been better as the "antagonist" got what he deserved (imho).

I was very unexpectedly entertained by this book and read it in two days. While I didn’t love the first-person narrative style at first, I grew very used to it a quarter of the way in. Highly recommend this to anyone who likes thrillers.

I’m not sure how I felt about this book. It was engaging enough and kept my attention. I found many aspects of the plot predictable which was a bit of a let down but I still enjoyed the book.

characters - .5⭐️

plot - ⭐️

engaging to read - ⭐️

would recommend - .5⭐️

would read again - 

nothing too special (characters are somewhat flat, premise isn’t very unique), but it’s a quick and fun read nonetheless.
