The ending felt really rushed and a little convoluted. It was a bit too coincidental for my taste. A lot of the characters felt flat to me and the dialogue felt really stilted and unrealistic. The plot and premise was interesting but it just didn’t really work overall.
And to be clear, Sam sucks and her infatuation with him ruined any shot I could possibly see at Kiki having character growth.

Thriller that takes place in CT when a woman returns to visit mutual friends of her ex fiance and then he ends up shot after the party. She goes on a mission to find out why it happened and never believed it was suicide. Finally, at the end she finds out the truth.
Kiki is trying to solve the mystery behind her ex’s death. Police say Jamie’s wound was self-inflicted but Kiki thinks otherwise- unraveling the truth that might put her own life in danger. I really had high hopes but there were so many characters introduced quickly that I had trouble following along. There were a few unrealistic scenes, and the few “reveals” were anticlimactic. The ending was so rushed, I was like wait that’s the end? The romance was kind of out of the blue as a plot line too. I did finish, so it held my interest enough, but I guess I was wanting something bigger, something more from a thriller? Thanks to the author, NetGalley and Harper Publishing for an early copy-thoughts are honest, my own and voluntary.
What a suspenseful thriller! Kiki discovers her ex-fiancé Jamie dead from a gunshot wound. The police believe it’s a suicide, but Kiki suspects foul play and digs for answers. As she uncovers dark secrets, her own life is put in danger. With plenty of twists and a fast pace, this is a gripping read for thriller fans.
