5.0

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.

4.0

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 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.

4/5 really good mystery/thriller read! I didn’t feel dragged along in any parts and my first guess of to how it would play out was debunked right before the end so I thought that was well written by Marshall. 

Overall very solid thriller novel with multiple twists and turns! Definitely kept me on my toes with surprises I wouldn’t have guessed.
