"I hired her to kill him. She just doesn’t know it.”
I did a buddy read with a friend, Alia! We rented a hotel room and ended up reading this in a day! As a romance girlie, it has been a while since I've read a mystery thriller! To read this at night was also a little suspenseful. We did a little bit of talk before we finished Part 1 and it's so ironic how Millie's not running away from this household because there's so many red flag. But ironically, it was later explained why and it's all sort of mind-blowing when everything was revealed!
Will definitely need to read more mystery thriller because this one was so fun! As a girl who just turns off her brain when she reads, every plot twist was indeed a twist!!!
