Full Review

I actually went into this thriller with low hopes because.

I feel like most thrillers for me are truly hit and miss regardless of the plot, regardless of the cover it really is about the particular story and if I connect with it, and if it’s paced well and so many other factors and personal preference does always play a part.

I try to be unbiased and fair with my reviews as much as possible, but at the end of the day, I am consuming art.

This is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in a while. I was sweating. My heart rate increased, and the pacing was so perfect.

This book is very much about an abusive relationship and it gives Freida McFadden vibes in the best of ways. I

genuinely was trying to take a nap and rest about 40% through this book and I could not put it down and I accidentally inhaled it so this is likely going to be a book that you’ll pick up and will not be able to put down until 3 AM so take that warning as you will I would read this on a Saturday evening.

Every single time I started to think that there was filler or fluff, or there was overwriting done something would happen, and it was very clear that the author was creating a transition scene and not only that but doing very well in a way that added to the characters development and showed things in realistic way.

This is one of my biggest ick with thrillers is that sometimes the character somehow doesn’t have a job they’re responsible for and can put everything down and become an investigator? This book was genuinely realistic with all of that.

I cannot express to you how much I love this book because it’s really hard for me to find a good thrillers, and this was one that blew me away and has changed my perspective slightly on what I truly enjoy in a good thriller a bit, which is my favorite part of reading new books and discovering new authors.

If you want a good thriller, I heavily recommend reading this one
