This was a solid read by a solid author - freakin love John. 

Knocked off a few points because I was sorely disappointed to have figured out the big twist early on, but it didn't take away from the roller coaster ride of reveals that lies within the pages. There was not a single likeable character in this entire book, and I loved it. 

Hashtag justice for george.

Heavy content matter. Read your trigger warnings if that's your thing.

What a WILD ride! Definitely recommend if you love thrillers! One thing happens and you think surely nothing else crazy can…. BOOM… then something else crazy happens! Twisted, dark, psychological rollercoaster. My first John Marrs book, but definitely won’t be my last!!

4.5 ⭐️ 

This was the book version of a Criminal Minds episode! I loved that I was constantly on my toes and wondering what was going to happen next. Some books that switch from past to present each chapter end up losing me, but the author did a great job with the transitions. I often read books that require a lot of “thinking”, so this was a good palette cleanse! I found myself unable to put it down on several occasions. 

I would recommend this book to a friend!

I struggle with books where I hate the characters...and I pretty much hated everyone in this book lol. Enough twists and turns to keep me interested, but definitely not my favourite or most thrilling John Marrs book I've read.
