breezy17's review against another edition

fast-paced

1.5

it gets half a star for at least being the fastest i have ever read a book bc unfortunately i could not put it down. the most criminal aspect of this thriller was how so many people recommended it to me as "so good!" with not an ounce of shame or sarcasm. what the actual fuck

This book is getting 4 stars because I could not put it down. I was so unsure what was gonna happened and still unsure about the ending. I'm definitely leaning Team Manuscript though.

What I didn't like was there was so much focus on sex both in the manuscript and from Lowen I thought it was overkill. Also did not care for the romance between Lowen and Jeremy.

Other than that, solid book if you love suspense. It will keep you on your toes!
