No specific spoilers, but still spoilers!!!

Really liked the beginning and middle part of the book, a lot was happening, fast paced, lots of drama, but because it started of so strong I expected more of the ending, really not as cruel or sickening as expected. Had a nice plot twist tho. Overall a good read, just  really different than I expected both in the (mostly) positive sense and a little in the negative.

Loved this book. From the blurb it really doesnt seem like something you could make 400+ pages out of. But it's gripping, it's emotional in places & overall just a good read.


I did have some issues with the whole being watched thing. I mean the first half of the book Anna was contacted a Lot and followed A lot but then it just seemed to suddenly stop happening. Cameras in her house but yet she gets another phone and they don't realise? Was a bit annoying on that part.

MASSIVE SPOILERS !!!!!!! 
I was shocked that  Anna actually set Margot up to be murdered??? it actually made me dislike her a lot more as a character. I just started to feel for Margot and understand her as a person and then just like that Anna destroys it. I can't help but think it could've worked out better if they had spoken to each other more and didn't ignore each other from their own biases. Was a bit sad honestly.

An amazing book, genre of book I don't normally read but it was so well put, placed and written it made me gasp, squeal and literally jump around the room especially with the plot twist at the end, I thought it would happen earlier in the book and when it didn't I just thought they were all cool,. But I was so wrong.  (It caught me so of guard). I adored every minute of this book and I cant wait to read more books just like it.

Thank you @tandemcollectiveuk @jackjordan_author and @simonschusteruk for sending me this copy as part of the readalong. 🥰

A really unique idea for a thriller from Jack Jordan. I too had that fear when looking at the anaesthetist before surgery, knowing you have no idea what will happen from that point. 😱

I enjoyed the short chapters and the tension build up to the surgery. That chapter had me hooked! I personally didn’t expect it to take the route it did, I’m not sure I enjoyed the second half as much. But it was a great debut. 👍🏻
