This was such a fun listen; action packed and full of funny moments. It’s hard to believe they packed so much into just over three hours of audio. The cast was stellar and totally fit what I would have expected from these characters.

This one was really good. I was thoroughly invested and had no idea what was coming. The twists just kept coming and I loved that. This was definitely a popcorn thriller!

Thank you to NetGalley, Stacy Willingham and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t know quite what I feel about this one yet. I read it and I felt like I wasn’t that into it, but I read it in two sittings. The ending had a stellar twist and I liked the variety of characters. So I think I liked it mostly 🤣
