adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This was such an exciting read! I called some things and was surprised by others, which is my favorite mix in a book like this. I definitely got Charade, Rear Window, and Wait Until Dark from this read and I loved that she listed Charade and Rear Window as some of her inspiration for writing this one. The book is certainly dark, but the mystery keeps you hooked and guessing until the end.

When I can find a book that keeps me guessing until the very end, I cherish it. This novel exceeded my expectations with its complexity and depth. I’m a tough critic of mystery novels, and I will be the first to admit that in this genre, it is hard to impress me. 

I. Am. IMPRESSED.

This book was surprisingly good. My jaw even dropped during a major plot twist. Once you understand the characters’ dynamics, you can’t put the book down! Switching narratives helps keep the plot moving in a way that’s fun and not mentally draining.

She guesses an alphanumeric password for a guy she just met on, like, the 3rd try?

This really didn't do it for me. The reveal hit me like a nudge - I'm not sure why. The main narrator was doing like a brooding style voice, and maybe that came across as low-energy? The story was interesting, but I didn't really find it compelling. Maybe I would have if I had read it on paper? Glad that this wasn't my first book by Ms. Foley because I wouldn't be tremendously excited.
