Lars Kepler understood the assignment!  

 

I love this book series so damn much! This is Book #5 in the Joona Lina series, and I 100% recommend starting from Book #1, otherwise, you will miss key story points. 

As per usual, I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t stop reading!  Even though the book has an overwhelming number of pages, the short chapters make this book a breeze to read! 

 

I really love the main characters of this series, especially Joona and Saga! I hope we see more of Saga in the next one! However, in this one we saw a familiar face as Erik Maria Bark is back! We got introduced to Erik during Book #1, The Hypnotist. I really loved that he was back in the story! I’m invested in these characters and will keep reading this series. 

 

The story was a wild ride and the writing excellent! If you want a book that’s unpredictable, atmospheric, dark, compelling and twisted, this one is for you!! Highly recommend! 

 

Thank you to Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.
