Dommage, ce livre avait beaucoup de potentiel mais je reste sur ma faim. Fin nul au possible
Started out strong : promising premise, loads of mysteries, fast-paced story (although some useless descriptions along the way).
The ending was, however, a real disappointment : too easy and improbable. Also particularly disliked the romantic turn it took.

So this book is pretty unbelievable plot-wise, but it’s fast & easy to tear through (I started it late last night & finished it this afternoon). I was kind of just going with it in all it’s ridiculousness but the final explanatory twist kind of put it over the edge into eye-rolling territory for me. It definitely feels like it was written by someone who speaks English as a second language (a bit unnatural in places) but overall written in a way that you can just pay attention to the story & not the writing (which is a good thing for easy thrillers).
Świetna książka! Akcja toczy się szybko, co rusz pojawiają się nowe okoliczności a gdy już myślałam, że to ostatnia prosta nagle wszystko się zmieniło:) Genialne. Chyba ten autor zagości na liście moich ulubionych pisarzy.

Oh, what to say about this one?
It started out great! Thought I had another great read in my hands. The beginning started out as a 4 star, the middle dropped to a 3 star and the twisty ending brought it down to a 2 star.
Alice, a Parisian cop, wakes up in the woods handcuffed to a stranger. She tries to recall what happened the night before but can't remember past drinking with her friends. She checks herself over while the stranger sleeps. There's blood on her shirt but she doesn't appear to be injured. There's a gun in her jacket, missing one bullet, but the gun isn't hers. What the hell happened?
Spoiler alert:
I really get turned off from books that have characters falling in love in incredibly short time frames. The two main characters spend 24 hours together and Gabriel is professing his love for Alice at the end of the day.
