This was an intense read. At certain points, I put it down because it gave me a couple of nightmares from reading right before going to sleep. The plot twist accelerated how quickly I wanted to finish, though.

I enjoyed this as a fun quick read. Even a good palette cleanser. It was my first book written by her and I enjoyed it for what it is. I didn’t see the main twist but the rest were easy to put together. I think McFadden writes fun, quick mysteries

Thought this was ok! Just a regular thriller, some reasonable twists but nothing too exciting for me. I think it could have used an edit — felt a little slow and repetitive for the content and pacing of it all. I would probably try another by Freida McFadden, since it was an easy audiobook for me, but not jumping to the next one by any means.

Want a gripping suspenseful read that will keep you hooked? This is your book. Want a book with a mind blowing plot twist? This is not your book.

The writing was captivating and I was hooked from the beginning.  I devoured every page, completely engrossed in the story.  Right up until... *the reveal* ...happened. I'm still reeling from the sudden shift. The emotional impact is similar to a child watching their balloon float away into the sky. Ugh, I'm so disappointed! 😩 It felt like such a letdown after everything that came before it. I'm still processing how it all went wrong, and it's going to take some time. I had such high hopes, and now I'm just feeling deflated.

If you need a quick read for October to help meet your reading goals, and don't mind a potentially disappointing plot twist, this would be a good choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
