I have to admit, it’s been a while since I’ve read a thriller and the last couple have fallen slightly short of the mark but that wasn’t the case with this book. It is a bit chunky at around the 400 page mark but it’s got really quick, short chapters which I always find helps to deliver a fast pace and get you engrossed in the story. Once I started this I found I didn’t want to put it down and kept looking for the next moment when I could read a bit more.

This isn’t a scary, gory or intense thriller but it does leave you wondering - it’s one of those where the author seems to be leading you in one direction which you know can’t be right so you start questioning everyone else. I have to admit that I didn’t figure it out until just before the truth was revealed and I do love that in a thriller! It keeps you on the edge of your seat because you’re trying to figure it out and read between the lines, there’s definitely more than a couple of secrets between the characters in this book!

Overall I really enjoyed this book and it has relit the spark that a good thriller can deliver, I think I’ll be reading a few more in the next few months for sure!!! Also want to say a big thanks to @michaeljbooks for sending me this stunning proof copy to read and review!
