Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
This is honestly one of the better thrillers I have read as of late, I was hooked right off the bat! I found this book to very well-written and easy to keep up with. As a true crime junkie, reading through this just gave me so many flashes of real life stories. Makes you think that how you really don't know anyone truly beyond what they present to the world. Definitely had my blood pumping a few times during some tense moments.

I received this book as an ARC copy and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I've tried a couple times to start this book and this time I tried to push through but I unfortunately DNF'd after 3 chapters because I just couldn't seem to get into the book. I found a lot happening but my brain just couldn't seem to hold on to what was being said. I think that's because I personally found the writing style hard to follow compared to what I normally prefer to read.

I went into this book blind, and while I initially struggled with the multiple POV's it t managed to flow into a nice rhythm eventually that I could follow. This booked didn't quite go where I though it was going to go, but overall not a bad thriller read.

Yet another book I finished in 24 hours. I went into this knowing nothing, just people recommending it through booktok had my interest peeked. I am not a religious person whatsoever, and the first chapter had me wondering if I would want to read through it. I'm happy I stuck with because the just forbidden parts of this book makes it all the hotter. My only issue which I struggled on was the language that was used by Tyler when referring to certain body parts. I'm not a prude, but it's just a word that I don't enjoy so made me feel a little awkward to hear it said so much. Otherwise .. sexy sexy sexy. But due to language, I'm not sure if I'll read more of this series. 3.5 for me.
