We definitely have an unreliable main character. She is what I call "tofu". She doesn't seem to have much of a personality of her own, but soaks up what is around her. She is on a plural marriage with Seth and his two other wives. She has never met them. It's part of the arrangement. Things start to come to light though... Lies, information, and half truths. Or are they? It is a wild ride.
I am definitely not the thriller book reader to turn to for reliable top reads in this genre, but this was a quick page turner that kept me guessing. I was curious enough to keep going, but not overwhelmed with how amazing it was either.

This book definitely held my attention. However, nothing was shocking and I found it to be predictable, which I don’t like my thrillers to be.
The ending was also a bit rushed. We obviously get the reveal of the truth and see who is lying or telling the truth and it’s only a chapter or two of a conclusion without much contact to explain the issues that came up previously in the story.
Additionally, I was doubting the situation from the beginning because it didn’t seem to make sense, so I definitely expected the unreliable narrator.
