Another switch your brain off sort of read- hated Josh's character right towards the end though!

The first half of this book I really enjoyed and found hard to put down but somewhere around the halfway point I just found it getting a bit more unbelievable.  There were just a few too many loose ends at the end that didn't make sense too (such as the police not looking into the blood in Natalie's car boot and just going "oh well").

Managed to get a good amount of twists in this story considering it's short length, I enjoyed it!

It got better towards the end but it was quite a slow moving book. The twists in it weren't particularly shocking either.

An unnecessary filler story. I love FM books but this was just pointless. If you were getting death threats you would tell your fiance- wedding day or not!

The royal mumbo jumbo got a bit much towards the end, but an easy read for when you don't really want to think! Trying to switch up from reading horrors/thrillers!

Kind of brain numbing but in a good way. You don't have to think too much, an easy read

A good read! However the first half was far better and more atmospheric in my opinion. If the book had continued down the stalker route I think my interest would have been a bit stronger. With that being said, the story was engaging with good twists!

Another good read from FMc. I did find Sydney a bit annoying but the overall story was good!
