Wow, this book was absolutely gripping from start to finish, and I truly loved every moment of it.
The scene where the girls board that train in the underground subway struck a nerve with me; it triggered a wave of anxiety because losing my child in the underground is one of my biggest fears. From that moment onward, the story was relentless. Each chapter ended on a tantalising cliffhanger, making it nearly impossible to put the book down—my heart was racing with every turn of the page.
There were instances throughout the narrative where the plot became a bit less believable, possibly straying into improbable territory, but I found that I didn’t even mind. I was completely immersed in the characters and the unfolding drama, eager to unravel the intricate threads of the storyline.
As for Aaron, he was truly the epitome of a villain. His actions were despicable, and by the conclusion, I felt that he absolutely deserved everything that came his way. The author did a remarkable job of crafting a satisfying resolution for his character, leaving me both relieved and vindicated.
