Just the kind of dark and twisty I didn’t know I needed. Saw a few of the plot twists coming and some I knew there was something more but wasn’t sure how they were connected until the reveal at the end. 

Again with the amnesia with this one. Not mad about it though. And with the podcaster sidekick. Enjoyed this one more than the last though. Had no idea what I was getting myself into with this story. Literally just looked for available mystery/thrillers in Libby and 🎉 tada!🎉 

Will definitely be checking out the authors other books. 🤞🏻I feel the same way about the others.

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).

This is the type of thriller that I live for. The one that sneaks up on you in ways other than the ones that you are expecting. I was pretty close guessing where this story was going to go but never could I have ever guessed the way that we got there or the precise ending. Kate Alice Marshall has a gift and a curse. She goes dark and it gets deep. This one left me absolutely gutted. I would love to see this book play out as a limited series on Netflix or Prime. The right cast could do wonders with the characters penned and circumstances paged here.
