wowwwww is all i can say. i started listening to this a couple of days ago but since it was a slower start, i procrastinated a bit on it. today i listened to the entire rest of the book from chapter 7 to the end. what a wild ride. the mystery, the thrill, and each character’s depth immediately hooked me in. it was not predictable for me at all and had me on the edge of my seat. the narration was also done beautifully to enhance the story which was a big part of keeping my interest high. i felt like i was on a rollercoaster all the way up to the ending. freida writes in a way that captivates you and is never short of surprises up to the last sentence. i thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait to get through the rest of the series. certainly a new favorite for me in the thriller genre!
