slow-paced

This book easily could have been 150 pages less and delivered the exact same twists. So much of this book was discussions in a house with different people. Usually I like dialogue, but it became so monotonous. The ending was so bad. It wasn’t predictable, but also was not a twist in the same way other thrillers unravel (in a bad way). I was so bored the last 150 pages it felt like the author was restating the same story over and over. I thought the final twist was really weird?? It started out strong and then went downhill.
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

In my opinion, this was okay. I listened to the audiobook and found it interesting until half way through. It seemed to be repetitive and would drag on at certain points. This had a lot of twists but almost too many and the last one was ridiculous 🙄 The ending had me feeling mad and like it wasn’t finished. I wouldn’t recommend
