Holy cow, I didn’t see that coming from one million miles away. Talk about a twist! Before I got to the plot twist, I thought the book wasn’t bad, probably just your average thriller. The last 20% of the book completely changed my mind. Frieda wrote this in such a way that I literally said “wtf” because there was no way you knew that was how this would end.

I just hate when the twist is that the main characters are actually deeply evil people. It feels very gimmicky and I need to like my characters

I was so freakin convinced I knew who the bad guy was and I was SO wrong! What a wild ride. I loved the short chapters, it made the book fly by and as usual the mystery aspect was on point. Definitely a good thriller.

2.0

Oh this one was not good at all sadly. The story telling was very absurd and the characters were very dumb and unlikeable. The storytelling was bad and took away all the tension because you exactly knew what would happen next. The setting and atmosphere but that's it. I thought that I would get a Rock Paper Scissor esque thriller but this one felt very flat.

Another fabulous Freida book! Every single theory I had was absolutely wrong. I never saw the twist coming and it had me shook to my core.
