dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

well this wouldnt be my usual pick, I'm not really a thriller girl BUT this was a very good thriller though

for me this book is like a gradient between one part and the other.

and what I mean by that is I was pretty bored at the start of this book. i couldn't really get into it because I wasn't into the characters but at the same time, i get that you're not really supposed to like the characters. i felt like the first part was a lot of empty suspense and build up which is obviously important but, I just did not enjoy the first like 150-200 pages.

and then it slowly fades into the second part WHICH I REALLYY LIKED. listen, this book might not have had any big plot twist moments (for me at least), but i was still CAPTIVATED for like the second half of the book. 

so that's why i kinda don't know how to describe my feelings lol, the first part is like a 2 stars but the last part is like 4/4.5 stars.
