Reviews

First off, thank you NetGalley and Flatiron Books for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

The synopsis for this book sounded fantastic and I was super excited to read it. I mean who doesn't love a suspenseful mystery thriller?!? Unfortunately, it was just okay for me! I wish I had known that this book was a sequel to the author's previous book "The Resemblance". It would have helped me tremendously with the background of the characters and the confusion. I am not sure why the marketing for this book does not state its a sequel.

In addition, the first half of the book was extremely slow for me! Honestly, I considered stopping at this point; however, I decided to keep reading and I am glad that I did. The second half did pick up the pace and I was eager to figure out the mystery. But I was not completely sold on the ending because it was a bit unbelievable for me.

Overall, I would strongly recommend reading The Resemblance before reading this book. Ultimately, I would have enjoyed the book more if I had read the first book.⭐️⭐️⭐️
