I... did not like this book. Among other things, the writing style grated on me (why are two characters describing Nina in the same way, only a few pages apart? And why is there repeats, such as “Her forehead looked damp. I wiped her damp forehead with a cloth.” 

 

I have so many issues with the plot and the necessary suspense of disbelief in a hundred different ways, but my main thing is: this feels like reading a script for a tv show, not a book. It would make a good mini series or actiony movie! In book form it’s just... not enough. Too many plot holes, too many descriptions, not enough consequences. 

 

I hate writing bad reviews but I hoped for so much more than this. Boo.
