Took a bit of time to get into the story and characters but once the layers started to peel back I couldn’t stop til I got to the end.
The storytelling throughout was well done and the twists and turns along the plot kept me guessing, though I felt a bit of the authors scramble to wrap up some plot points that she raised along the way.
Overall a solid thriller that was worth the read.
I could have done without the last chapter altogether and felt *that* specific detail wasn’t needed in the scheme of everything else
