3.0

3 stars to me is a very generous rating. I don't know why I didn't DNF the book. Probably because this book is highly recommended? Let me divide the review into 3 parts.

1st part of the book, hell, I was engrossed with the book. We even got a cat's POV. Pretty interesting. As the book goes on, I got pretty confused? Like Olivia is Lauren? She assumed a cat person to cope with her trauma (being kidnapped is obviously traumatising). Honestly, Olivia (the cat)'s POV was the only interesting POV. Like I said, the 2nd part of the book was very confusing. And then we got to the final part. It got more confusing. I was already bored of the storyline and really wanna get done with the book. God, I just wasted my time on this book. Boohoo

The motive of the murder? Yes, I get it. But then again, it wasn't strong enough to murder 9 people. It wasnt something that I expected. Was justice being serve? HELL NO


Despite the unsatisfactory reasonings behind the motive of killing these set of people, I do quite enjoyed the 'hunting' vibe from the book? Something like how a predator hunting its unsuspecting preys. Probably would enjoy it even more if the hunting aspect being explore more. Also, what's up with FBI and their investigations?
