hbethjackson 's review for:
The Fear
by Natasha Preston
OH. MY. GOSH.
She does it again!! The entire time I was reading this I was playing detective with Izzy, trying to figure out whodunit. But the plot twists always come...
I will say, I knew who it was, but that did not take away any suspense, especially with that VERY LAST PAGE OH MY GODDDD. The way you think its one way and Preston is just like "lol u thought." ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED. I have never been let down with one of her thrillers. I think the day she writes a bad thriller is the day the world ends lol.
Highly recommend if you love thrillers, BUT Natasha Preston ALWAYS writes a cliff hanger so beware!!
Okay, last thoughts. I really enjoyed the pacing, it was a tiny bit slow in the beginning, but the middle to end is SUCH a page turner that it is worth it. The plot was good, although I'm dying to see what this viral meme looked like, because memes are supposed to be funny, not about death lol, but I got passed that very quickly. I was a little confused on why the killer decided to just kill random popular people lol. I wish they had more strategy lol. Besides these little critiques, I LOVED IT!! Natasha, please never stop writing these, and I will never stop giving you all my money lol.
???!!! ****SPOILER WARNING FROM HERE ON OUT********???!!!
I lowkey shipped Izzy and Axel WAYYY more than I did with Tristan, even though they were both sus the entire book. I think the little blurb on the back of the book calling Axel "brooding" just made me automatically an Axel fan. But like, the way we're tricked into thinking Tristan was the only one murdering, especially because I just KNEW it had to be him.
Like making it only Axel would've been too obvious, especially with Izzy being sos sus about him the entire book, but thinking back now, having it be both of them just makes SO MUCH SENSE. I'm already wanting to go back and reread to piece things together. Although The Cabin will always be my favorite by her, this one is coming to a close second.
Also, I will never ever be happy reading a cliff hanger unless it is written by Natasha Preston. She is the only one who can do it right, I swear. ESPECIALLY this one, like oh my gosh. You go like 20 pages thinking it was only Tristan, and then LITERALLY LAST PAGE Axel is thrown into the mix. Like WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK. I just cannot even describe how I gasped when that happened, like FOR REAL. I've been reading way too much dark romance bc that was hot asfff. Lowkey giving The Darkest Temptation vibes :P
