5.0

I loved this book.

Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.

Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.

2.5 stars. Not that gripping and a lot of plot holes but a decent ending. This is why I have a hard time dNFing thrillers.

Not an audiobook that wowed me. I kind of figured out the villains easily from the start. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it was lacking something. Mild swearing. Mild sexual content.

A tense, well-written read that I finished in a day — I had to know what happened next! The author also sensitively handled some really tough topics without pulling punches about the reality of living through them. The ending was also really satisfying.
