2.5 stars… not quite terrible but also not a very well written book. It had the potential to be a really good thriller but I think the foundation of the book and it’s characters was just not strong enough for any of the decisions made through the trial to really make sense or resonate. It all just seemed way too far fetched and the resolution was too easy.

Wow. What an amazing book. I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down! Although I had a guess at the end plot way before it happened, it was still a pretty gripping book. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Antoinette van Heugten did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job on this novel. I couldn't bring myself to put it down, and the ending left me on edge. The entire novel had me on pins and needles, wondering what was going to happen and what was truly the situation. She has quickly become one of my to-read authors. Highly anticipating her future novels as well. VERY recommended.

Wow, what can i say about this book?!
I don't think a book has ever made me feel such emotion!
It made me so angry, i was literally writhing whilst reading it!
It was an amazing read with a brilliant if not chilling ending!

This book had a bit of a shocking ending, I'm quite surprised actually. Five stars for a gripping read and excellent plot twist.

Ik heb echt geprobeerd dit boek uit te lezen. Maar het is zo vlak geschreven, zonder enige connectie met de personen of uberhaupt erg veel diepgang in de personages.
De gebeurtenissen zijn ongeloofwaardig, en ik voelde het gewoon niet. Er zit vrij veel herhaling in het boek waardoor het erg langdradig is.
Ik ben tot ongeveer 50% gekomen voor ik dacht: dit is de tijd niet waard.
Helaas had ik hetzelfde met haar tweede boek (the tulip eaters) en daarom denk ik niet dat ik nog snel een boek van haar zal oppakken.
Gezien de reviews van de boeken val ik wel in de minderheid die haar boeken niet kan waarderen. Laat je daarom vooral niet tegenhouden door mijn revieuw om de boeken zelf te lezen!
