Now this was a thriller, I stinking loved it. I loved the constant zooming out of the story and yeah, it was kinda predictable but by that point, it felt so high octane that I didn't even care. The two main characters were complex and not exactly loveable but definitely not people you rooted against either.
But also there is *definitely* something wrong with Katherine

Another solid bone chilling thriller from Sarah Pekkanen. The characters were very engaging, and it was hard to know who to trust between Catherine and Ruth. I was on the edge of my seat as Ruth's backstory unfolded. What I liked best though was the description of the mother-daughter relationship, and all the difficult nuances that play into such a relationship.

This book was okay but I found it rather disappointing. The main twist was obvious and was revealed halfway through. The second half of the book was slow and not very suspenseful.

I enjoyed Sarah Pekkanen's solo debut. I was invested and enjoyed Kate Mara's reading. The only thing that stuck out to me was
I didn't buy Ruth's concern that Katherine was a killer, because it wasn't very established or supported
. I'll definitely check out her future solo titles!
