This book was S.L.O.W.
I felt the book finally picked up around 80% and then wrapped up very quickly with an epilogue-feeling conclusion.
I generally dislike monologue conclusions to thrillers and mysteries. Where the reader is left nearly completely in the dark until the villain makes a grand stand and explains all the things in 10 pages. It’s annoying. I want to guess and theorize and feel caught off guard if there’s a twist. This book didn’t do that for me.
On top of that, the main character was super annoying. Yes, she’s only 24 so she’s I don’t expect wise and mature, but she was really really… Ditzy? Shallow? Dependent? Immature? Just generally unlikable.
It wasn’t a terrible read, but it’s not one I’ll readily recommend to my fellow thriller readers, either.
Moderate: Blood, Death, Death of parent, and Murder
Minor: Sexual content
