Amazing! I rarely read mysteries, but this one was great! The ending was satisfying and the last third of the book was so gripping I couldn't put it down!

It took some time for the momentum to really build, but overall a great read.

This was my first Alex Finlay book and I was pleasantly surprised with it! This was a thriller but I feel like it mixed up a lot of elements but did it well. It had slasher, final girl, detective story vibes all wrapped up in one. It was pretty fast paced and it kept you guessing. There was one plot twist that surprised me and one that didn't. It's hard to do something new when it comes to thrillers but this gave me creepy slasher vibes in the beginning and then moved more into a faster paced mystery and then ended with a little thriller toward the end. I liked that we got multiple points of views but they were very different perspectives. I liked most of the characters in this book.... a few of them being quite endearing. I will definitely read Finlay books in the future.

Finished this book in one reading! Can’t say that the plot is completely solid, but the characters are interesting and the writing is good, and usually that’s enough for a good thriller.

Didn’t catch me too much in the beginning but the last 100 pages had me gripping to it, not being able to put it down!

This book was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and I’m so happy that it did not disappoint!

The multiple POVs offer a lot of different information all at once, the characters are all on a different spectrum of the ethical scale and there’s a barrage of events that keep happening so even from the first chapter there’s really not a single dull moment you can truly relax.
It was a whole experience, I only felt tense & anxious until the very end so I'd definitely say it fulfilled it’s purpose.

Thank you NetGalley & Head of Zeus for the digital ARC.
