This book was such a fast paced read. I loves the plot and that final twist? Did not see that coming at all. 😮‍💨 

Would recommend for anyone looking for a good psychological thriller to keep you in the edge of your seat.

Did not see that coming! One of the best books I’ve read from Freida! Loved how there was no emphasis on any mental disorders. I find that always to be a very tacky and lazy choice in thrillers. Especially as having a mental or personality disorder doesn’t mean you are prone to killing people… Like I said, lazy!

It's an easy light read if you enjoy thrillers. There are 2 time lines, but the main female character Sydney is only in the present day chapters. She is a bit clueless, really, and some of her decisions are questionable. Most of the book Sydney is looking for love. I  definitely didn't see the twist at the end of the book as I thought I had it all figured out.... er nope. All in all, it's a light entertaining read with several murders thrown in. Enjoyable and fun. Bought for an alternative February Valentines day read for a book club pick, but I ended up reading it in January. Great pick for an alternative Valentine read
