The audiobook narration by Santino Fontana (my fave!) is probably skewing me into rating this higher than if I had read it in print but this was a solid thriller with some good twists! Just a bit slow for me in parts, but I didn't really mind because...Santino Fontana!

*3.5 stars

This was a good one! Solid thriller! While I’ve enjoyed his other books more, this one is definitely a solid thriller. Lots of twists and turns that eventually all come together. I wasn’t wild about the ending, kind of fell a little flat for me, hence the lower rating. But overall I’d recommend.

Good twists, but some of the plot points feel rushed or undeveloped

by the end the constant bait and switch was not surprising at best and comical at worst. i legitimately gave a chuckle when the book got to the final twist.
