Fun and twisty thriller. It really sucked me in once the action picked up.

My two biggest complaints are

that one of the twists being related to the dark web felt kind of outdated to me,

and I really didn't like the ending at all. But regardless I had a fun time with this book.

I'm not entirely sure how to rate this one yet. It kept me hooked and wondering what was coming next the whole time. At no point could I anticipate how/when/what was about to happen, which I appreciated and I don't think that the explanations/reveals were so out there that they could only be in a fictional book but some were really out there. That said, I don't think I liked the ending very much but I'm not sure if more or less of what we got would have satisfied me. I wouldn't rate it low just because the ending didn't satisfy me when for the whole journey there I was engrossed and needing to read the next chapter. I think I'm going to have to sit with this one though.
