4.0

To preface, I absolutely never read thrillers. This is actually my first, and what a nerve wracking time! This is outside of my usual genres, but I’m committed to my book club. Not that this was hard to read, in fact it was hard to put down!! 

I’m not even going to recap because blind is best on this book. Honestly. 

The twists twist and the turns turn. I was very happy with the second half of this book and the conclusion. I think it was very satisfying to read. I don’t know if it holds up against other thrillers in the genre but for me, it was an addicting good time. 

4/5 stars
