4.5

Whoa. That was a doozy. I haven’t been that riveted to a thriller in a long time. No spoilers, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the very last chapter. I thought the way everything played out was just surprising enough without being implausible, that the very end wasn’t totally necessary (even if it was more in line with what I envisioned for at least the second half of the book). I think leaving off that last chapter makes for a much more thought provoking read, but that’s just me. 

Still, 4.5 stars rounded up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks to the publisher and Goodreads Giveaways for the advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
