I flew through this, it was impossible to put down. I saw too much hype around it though, and I guessed the major twist, so it lost a star due to that.

A great thriller with excellent characters. Highly entertaining, and I recommend it if you like the genre.

Though I enjoyed the last part of the book, overall it was too far-fetched and predictable. I’ve seen in many reviews that readers “figured it out” less than halfway through the book and the same happened for me, after that it was mainly the curiosity of HOW that kept me going. The writing was great and the author knows how to write compelling characters, the plot just wasn’t there.

Loved this book! The plot was immensely interesting, a real page-turner. Prepare for sadness, though; it has really dark themes, not an easily digestable book.

I enjoyed this book. I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out exactly what happened. I think parts of it were a little obvious, but other parts were not.
