I was immediately drawn into this book from the start all the way through to the end! This is my first book from B.A. Paris and I'll definitely be trying more.
Amelie has been in survival mode for most of her life. This book is mainly focused on her marriage to a billionaire that turns way deadlier and more dangerous than she could have imagined when she is kidnapped and locked in a dark room for weeks because of her husband's unsavory dealings.
Again, this book had me hooked the whole way through. It was somewhat awkward when about 75% of the way through I thought the book was wrapping up but it just kept going. The ending wasn't bad, I just didn't super love how it was executed. I recommend!

Unfortunately, the pacing on this book didn't support my continued interest. The tension broke far too early, leaving the resolution a bit of a let down. By the time the "big reveal" (which I had predicted near the beginning of the book) finally happened, it felt like an afterthought.
That being said, I did still enjoy the book and if you aren't particular about pacing in thrillers then it may be a great option.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC!
