Really enjoyable read. Many twists that kept me guessing until the end. It felt like it dragged on a bit in the middle, but overall it was great.

A group of people in a hot air balloon witness a terrible crime, but then the hot air balloon crashes and only one person lives. The lone surviver is focused on running from the person she saw commit the crime because she knows he saw her.
The short chapters and back and forth between characters and timelines helped make this a very fast paced book! At first I was really confused by the multiple story lines, but then about halfway through, I was able to start predicting *almost* everything until towards the end and then wow, what an awesome series of surprises. Such a great book that I felt had more depth than I was expecting, which I really enjoyed as well!

A banger of an opening, with the hot air balloon. Very original, very engaging. The rest of the book really manages to keeps up with that pace and does not disappoint.

So the book went from a two star rating to a five star rating. But, and here is the but! It ended on a four. Its because it was to slow and now when I´m done I feel that Bolton did leave out to much so now after, I can see how much holes there is in the story. The writing was also a little bit off. But overall it is a great book and a great story as long as you are a patient reader and it deserves a four star rating by me.

This is my first time reading Bolton’s novel and I have to say that I really enjoyed it.
The characters were very well developed, the plot was amazing and it’s definitely an amazing thriller novel.
I was really confused in the middle of the novel of how everything would fall into place at the end of the novel, but the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly.
Definitely has some twists that I didn’t see coming at all and I love that it gave me goosebumps, that’s the kind of novel that I like.
I will be reading more of Sharon Bolton, no doubt about that.

Woah, fast-paced crazy story with lots of twists and turns. The suspenseful plot with time jumps makes up for some of the lack of character development, but fascinating nonetheless. The hot air balloon crash is just the tip of the iceberg.
