This was such a good read! I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. The addition of the POVS from the unknown narrator added an extra layer of suspense to the story. Ariel was a fantastic FMC and I liked seeing her figure out the mystery behind her family’s company. I wasn’t shocked by any of the twists but yet I was enamored with the characters and mystery so it was still very enjoyable. I can’t wait to see what thriller Bowen puts out next!
