I really wanted to like this book, but I hated both Maggie and Nina; I know they both had their problems, but the lack of characters I could root for made this story difficult to like. The ending was also really unsatisfying for me.

This was well-crafted and very gripping and just yhe perfect balance of twisty and 'I KNEW IT!'. 

This is my second thriller and also my second book from this author, so I'm not sure if I like the genre overall, or if the writing just gets me hooked... either way, I'll be reading everything he throws at me 😂😂😂
