This book was not in any way what I expected. There were so many twists and turns that kept me on my toes from start to finish. I don’t want to spoil anything but wow. What a solid finish — it’s rare that I like or agree with endings but this one was actually good. Not too beyond the realm of possibility but also not too “happily ever after”, either. I will definitely be checking out any other works by Sager!
