I LOVED THISSSSSS!!
It had me on edge the whole time, I was engaged, I was ready! This is the first thriller in a while that’s actually given me anxiety - Holly Jackson smashed that honestly.
I read this in about 6hrs on a Sunday and it was a whole ride man.
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATED OLIVER HE WAS AWFUL!!!!!! Wanted to absolutely throttle him everytime he had dialogue. The other characters could’ve been slightly more fleshed out but they did what they needed to do
Reyna is an angel, love her, enjoyed Reds POV too!!
I did find the plot very unrealistic at the start and had to suspend a lot of disbelief but as the story moved it started to get its grip on me and I could get swept away with the story. Will definitely pick up Holly Jackson’s other thrillers!!!
I don’t remember the last time I talked aloud to a book, had to stop and stare at a wall or had to run out and recount the whole plot while running around my lounge to my husband with a book and this one made me do all 3
