Even though it was a little predictable, I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes figuring out the answers ahead of time gives you satisfaction instead of annoyance, and there were enough twists that I didn't see them all coming. 

I don't read thrillers often so I'm probably not the best reviewer for it but it was pretty good as far as tension and mystery. 

The spice level was good for me (fade to black).

idk if it's really a 5 star thriller or if I'm just emotional because I'm 4 days sober from those fun life ruining opiates but either way, I can't think of any way to improve this one so I suppose it's a 5 star 🤷🏼‍♀️. plus it's beautifully written and the characters are so real you can taste them.

This book was amazing. It filled the Yellowjackets sized hole in my heart. I was able to figure out one of the twists almost immediately and suspected another one. I kept page flags in this book of different theories and I loved it dearly. Extremely well written. I will have to check out other books by this author.
