My first thriller could not have been a better pick I think! Must have been fate because I checked this out at the library on a whim because I thought "hey I've seen that title before and I'm pretty sure I remember vaguely positive reviews??" HOT DAMN
I finished this in one day because I could not stop reading! It's so fast paced and the tension is always there seeing as it takes place over a short period of time. The main character Darby is also just excellent. I was really able to connect with her (aside from the fact that we both drive ancient honda civics that we named) and she didn't make dumb/unrealistic decisions like I was worried. Also, if you want a thriller where the lead just gets progressively more feral, here you go.
Good thing to note is that this isn't as much of a mystery as the synopsis suggests. So just go in knowing that it's more of a survival thriller than a mystery thriller, though it still has plenty of twists and turns.
Even though I'm giving this 5 stars, I'll admit it's not perfect, but a lot of that is probably personal preference. Like I think the ending could have been a tad less drawn out, and there's at least one plot hole that luckily wasn't major enough to ruin anything but still annoyed me lol. The author also uses the word mushy way too much :/ But at least it had a satisfying ending which is more than I expected on my first thriller adventure.
