the first part of the three parts left much to be desired. i made several attempts to persevere and it didn't feel worth it. the reviews made me come back to it cause it felt like I was missing out. And honestly, the latter halves were much better. it felt incredibly thrilling and i could feel the anxiety and the danger. it was basically a bit of a mind fuck. that's not to say that some bits weren't predictable and some other bits didn't leave me asking 'why', but the good bits more than made up for it and rendered it a redeemable experience.
Wasn’t really that gripping. Felt suspenseful but I hoped there would be more. I loved the way the book was written in the 2 perspectives - quite interesting. Overall good book, wouldn’t pick it up again.

It was not a good book, it was not a terrible book. It was fairy easy to read with some twists and turns. The plot as a whole was a little confusing.
2.5 rounding up to 3 for GoodReads. I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I expected so much more from this one, honestly. I feel like all the "twists" were very basic and bland. I was very intrigued by the beginning of the novel and very much liked the set up but it just became something I really wasn't interested in by the end and nothing about the ending made reading this one worth it. I have very much enjoyed the other books I have read by this author duo and I am not sure if the bar was just set too high in my mind in order for me to enjoy this one or if this actually is a step down from some of their other works. It is a fine thriller but not one that will blow your socks off (or at least it didn't for me) and I would definitely recommend others by these authors before this one.
