It wasn’t a terrific book, mostly because I didn’t find any of the characters to be likable. They seem to have started as selfish and continued to get more so as the book progressed. The ending was a twist I didn’t see coming, while other “twists” were pretty obvious.
This book tackled a lot of hard topics, which made it an overall dark and sad book. I wish it had some glimmer of light in it. It’s quite a depressing read, to be honest. Overall, a decent thriller about bad people doing terrible things, with a lot of twists and turns. I appreciated the lack of a romantic storyline.
Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars
The narrator did an amazing job! Great voices for everyone that seemed to fit who they were.
