I actually THOROUGHLY enjoyed this, it was exactly the kind of book I needed after getting in a bit of slump after my last read.

This was entertaining, and thought provoking (I really enjoyed the musings on assisted suicide being a crime that this book brought up, especially with extremely sick people) I don't really expect much in terms of themes in thriller books I just want to be excited and shocked so it was cool to have a little bit of something thought provoking in there too. 

It definitely made me do that thing where your eyes dart to the end of the page pr a few paragraphs down cos you're trying to read so fast cos of the suspense and you end up spoiling yourself hahaha. I had to physically put my hand on top of the page to stop it. 

Love the kind of dual timeline we get here via letters and then the actual story. You as the reader get to see where the book is going and/or find out more about the characters than the MC currently knows and it's exciting to see when the MC is going to get this information. It was super suspenseful and I loved the atmospheric dark setting. The house was such a great setting for this particular story. 

I did take a little while to realise Kit was a girl hahaha. 

It was so digestible and readable, I read it in like 24 hours because it was so fast paced. 

The final quarter of the book was full of lots of twists and I do love that it kinda ended

wrapped in a pretty little bow

There were many times when I gasped and put my hand over my mouth in shock. Overall this was a really fun read, super entertaining and quick when you need a bit of a sugar rush in a book. Would read more of Riley Sagers books!
