3.5

A fairly average thriller overall but did have some good moments and interesting twists. The pacing was good, if at times a little bit confused, but about halfway through the book the flashback chapters started to make more sense.

The characters were pretty meh tbh. Grace was never particularly interesting and I didn’t really like Charlie either. Anna was your generic cuckoo/evil lodger stereotype and the attempt to humanise her near the end of the book didn’t really work for me. I did love Mittens though. Not happy at all about her ending.

I also found the ending overall a little lacklustre and the action towards the end a little rushed.

Overall, definitely a good thriller but could have been better.
