Okay second time writing this, thanks goodreads. I picked up this book without knowing an inkling on what it was about and I’m glad I didn’t! Right from the start we learn that Alicia killed her husband and hasn’t spoken since.
I really liked the twist in this novel. I did not see it coming at all. I had to reread it a few times for my mind to fully comprehend what was happening! I think this is one of those books where you have to read it a second time to fully appreciate it.
I loved all of the greek myths and easter eggs! I personally have never read a thriller that was a greek retelling, and I loved it! It was super unique and kept me on the edge of my seat. I swear once I actually got into reading this book, I couldn’t put it down.
Highly recommend this thriller!
