Oh wow 😧

This was awesome. I was honestly hooked since the first page.

This is my second book by Freida and while I wasn’t able to predict a flying thing about the first one (Never Lie), I did had my thoughts on this one but just because I thought since I knew how she portrayed Never Lie that I could somehow predict the twist here. I was somewhat right 😅 I hit the jackpot with something’s but I was also surprised by other things. I consider this a win-win 😂

It’s a good story, it’s well written, the plot is very interesting, the pace is great. The ending was beyond my expectations and I’m actually pretty satisfied with it, and I can’t wait to read book 2.

I don’t want to spoil anything so I’m trying to make it short and straight to the point. It’s a yes for me, is really good from my perspective and in MYYY opinion it deserves a try.

I know some people said that we don’t know a thing about the main character for about 70% of the book but I mean… isn’t that the point? This is suspense, a thriller and you’re not supposed to know a lot till the end of it 😅 at least that’s how I believe Thrillers works 🙈 so yeah we don’t know a lot but it’s fine, you’ll know it when the time comes 😉
