The first part (Brienne’s part) moved a little slow for me. Part 2 (Niall’s part) is when the pace started to pick up and it got interesting - about 40% into the book. This book has a good twist although I do feel like it was revealed a bit too early and I feel like some of the book was a bit predictable, especially if you are a seasoned thriller reader. Overall, I enjoyed this book and was excited to continue reading / finishing once I got to the 40% mark. Fun and easy read!
All of the horrible things she said and did, it was because she was hurting, and hurt people hurt people.
Moderate: Gaslighting

at first i was shook & a little weirded out & wasn't sure if I was going to be able to continue but once you block out the weirdness & throw away your morals & remind yourself that there are not actual family connections, its fine. although it made me cringe every time tiernan said "uncle jake" LIKE giirrIll but i liked the character development in this story if you can call it that LOL
