This is the first time I read a book by this author and it won’t be the last! 
I started this one yesterday evening and finished it at dawn, it was such a page turner that I didn’t want to put it down! 
 
This story was told from multiple POV and a couple flashbacks as well. It flows smoothly with great and easy to read writing style that comes with short chapters which get me hooked into the story very early in the beginning. 
 
There’s a lot of red herrings thrown throughout the story, it was quite difficult to figure out the culprit. I wasn’t so sure until the end, so the big reveal is quite surprising. 
While I really like the plot twist, the story ended slightly too rushed. Instead of showing, it’s more of telling the readers of what happened after. 
 
Overall, this book is a gripping fast-paced psychological thriller with unexpected plot twist that really surprise me! 
I’m looking forward to read more books by this author in the future! 
 
Special thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for giving me an e-ARC and to Thriller Book Lovers Promotions for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
