For those that read and loved Verity, very similar vibes. Here’s the thing, it read like candy. The people
Of the twist was predictable, but not the subject. Andrew and Nina piss me off. While Nina jump started a carreer of Millie to help others, she did it at the cost of Millie getting abused and tortured by Andrew to get out of her abusive relationship with her.

Up there with my favourite thrillers - so much so that after my first listen, I started again immediately. Very cleverly crafted; I did not see the twists coming. It made me feel strong things about the characters and what was going on - a sign of a great read. Be prepared - it's very dark and graphic but will leave your jaw on the floor.
