Thank you Random House for the free book. Try it if you liked The Rehearsal but wished that instead it was a thriller set in a contemporary Hollywood where breakthrough roles become bargaining chips in a devastating game.

I’ve only read two Catherine Steadman books to date and I loved them both for the same reason. While there are parts of the book you can predict, it’s so hard to fit all of the pieces together until the end. I love that there are twists that actually catch me off guard, a rarity in this genre for me.

This was so fun, similar themes to Woman in Cabin 10. Audiobook had great narration and even some sound effects, super immersive listening experience

5 audiobook stars for sure!! The effort!! The muffled voices, the voices on the other end of the phone call.. the eerie sound effects, the tangible sounds of pages flipping.. I am very impressed. 

I also really loved the ending. That last and final twist. I was well spooked. 

Heavy content warnings though.

SO SUSPENSEFUL I READ IT IN A FEW HOURS. I love Hollywood books so this checked all of my boxes. It was the first thriller I have read in a while but it was a smash.

It was okay but honestly kinda lack luster, I was a bit bored in the first half and didn't really care as much in the second half.
