2.0

the ending of this book really threw me, the final twist is pretty fucked up so I knocked a star off. It changed the way I saw the entire story and I don’t know if it was for the better. Still enjoyed the mystery.

edit: actually the ending twist makes me really mad and I’ve ranted about it to all of my friends…

dark sad

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

It’s an unpleasant and upsetting book about a terrible person preying on others, with a psychological thriller plot mechanism. I would strongly recommend skipping this book, even if it’s your only option on a long flight.

4.25

I want to give this book a bad review, but why, just because the ending made me cringe? The book was fantastic! It kept me really engaged and I NEEDED to know all their secrets! This book deserves 4 stars maybe even 4.25!  I was fooled the whole book and then that ending 🤯. I did not see it coming. 

I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone, but if you enjoy psychological thrillers this is a book for you.

3.0

This book was a whirlwind read, enthralling and addictive like the characters that are within, but shocking and completely mind-boggling. After finishing the book I can now attest to the claim on the front cover of the "the most shocking ending you'll read all year". You will definitely deduce what the ending will be, but only from piecing together pieces of the puzzle placed throughout the story, right from the beginning. This is, if you're paying attention.
