THE DOG IS FINE. Lest anyone dnf for fear. No promises on any of the people.

This was so much more than the suspenseful, slasher-y book I thought I was getting into (though it was that too.) A master class on how to end a story, with plenty of twists to keep you guessing.

I adore Taylor Adams. Having read most of his books, this one I have to admit isn't my favorite but it is still very well told and plotted. Fans of Adams who are looking for gore, violence, and cat and mouse games will be happy with this read.

A story about an author seeking revenge on a reader who left a one-star review? Oh, I'm definitely intrigued!

Well, I was terrified for most part of this book, it felt so real and vivid! Yes, the story is unbelievable, especially during the latter part of the book, but it still got my heart racing! I may have even made sure my doors are locked! Unfortunately, the story felt drawn out and so much happens toward the end that it made my head spin.

My favorite part is the juxtaposing POV of Emma and the killer. Hilarious! I think this is a fun read overall.

I LOVED this one. I had previously read No Exit and loved that one, but this one might be tied with it. Such a cleverly crafted story and I especially appreciated the two points of view. I wasn't sure where it was going at first, but it was brilliant. The characters are well-developed and I rooted so hard for Emma and Space Dog.

Very entertaining read. Author doesn’t waste time getting you primed and ready! The only reason this was rated under 4 ⭐️ was the back and forth. If there would have been even one less time of getting you to believe something different, even though what you first thought is actually true, it would’ve been 4 or 4.25 stars.
