So I really did like this book. It was super twisty and I didn’t really predict many of the twists

(especially Billy being Ruth’s attacker)

but there were some parts of the plot that didn’t really make sense to me and seemed a little unrealistic and at times it did get a little confusing.

Probably the most unrealistic thing was Billy getting his contacts in and out so easily 🙈

Overall though it was a really good thriller!

What a thrill ride! I have been reading lots of character driven family stories lately (my go to genre) and needed a good thriller to give me a jump start. This one did the trick.

As the title implies, two people meet and agree to kill someone for the other. And then there is a hiccup that catches the breath of one of the characters and makes her see things differently. I won’t say more than that, just know that there are a few good twists, the pace is on point, and if you can let go of some less than realistic excitement and just fall into the fun, then this book will offer you a great escape.

I thoroughly enjoyed how gripping this was, but I did feel wanting more for the ending.

A very engrossing, fast-paced thriller I read on one long sitting. The story is layered, albeit a bit far-fetched, but nevertheless interesting and engaging. There are plenty of excellent twists and many caught me off guard. You definitely keep going, hoping to figure out what the hell is going on. The only part that didn't work for me is the ending. I saw the final twist coming, which per se is no big deal. But without giving anything away, that twist and the subsequent last few chapters felt unfinished on two dimensions. A couple of more chapters to tie up the story would have been needed. So while everything else worked for me and this was a great pageturner, the last 5% left me not quite satisfied. Still, fully recommend this read, the good reviews are well deserved.
