Thoughts

This was an interesting thriller, well written, and the way it dipped back and forth in time kept me hooked and turning the pages to see what happened. The characters didn’t really leap out at me but I kept pushing on towards the big twist at the end. It was a shock, and a good twist, but then I feel like it didn’t play out as best it could. A good read though.

Rating: 3 / 5
