Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the first thriller I have read in quite a while, and I genuinely feel like it was the perfect reintroduction to the genre. It was a fast paced, edge of your seat read. I won't say too much because I don't want to give any spoilers, but this book had me trying to figure out how it was going to end the whole time. It had so many reveals, twists, and turns that I was constantly thinking of different scenarios and avenues the plot could take, as well as possible outcomes/ending to the novel. I did find some of the plot a smidgen predictable, but it was still extremely enjoyable. I found the ending to be the perfect set-up to book 2, which I will absolutely be reading! If you are looking for an easy mystery/thriller this is it!

okay with that, I'm going to explain my thoughts on this book. they are definitely complicated.
I'll start with the things I liked. the ending. it was actually great.
now to the things I didn't like as much. the first half of the book. I wanted to give up on this book so badly but I pulled through it because I was hoping it got better and it definitely did, especially on the third part.
my least favourite thing about it were the characters. I hated every single character even tho some of them got their redemption in the end. the only one I didn't completely hate was the Italian gardener, Enzo. but even him, I had some issues with.
so yeah, I have no idea if I'll ever read the second book.
(also, I got it from the library. support your local libraries!!!!)
