I haven’t binge read a book this long in quite a while. It was so hard to put down! Every time I thought I knew what was coming next, it took a different turn.
I do wish the resolution was a bit better, or maybe just longer, it seemed the set up took precedence. I did enjoy that last line, truly came full circle! Overall, pretty fun read!

Narrated by a man only known by his alias, Tobias, the plot follows his seemingly ordinary life with his wife. His perspective was great. The author uses his thoughts and memories to tell the entire story of his relationship with his wife in a way that doesn't detract from the plot. Through him recounting various events in his life you get to really learn about his wife and her unnerving personality, which only served to ramp up the tension. It's so hard to review a thriller without giving anything away so I'll say no more, except Samantha Downing exceeded my expectations with a twist to the serial killer plotline. This book is engrossing, twisted, and disturbingly addictive.
