alex finlay is BACK!!! after the disappointing WHAT HAVE WE DONE, I’m so happy that the king of plot twists and on your toes thrillers has redeemed himself and more with his fourth novel! and it may even be my new favorite!

this was such a fast-paced, heart-pounding story that I binged it in one night because I simply could not put it down until I had all of the answers!! what I love about alex’s writing is that you never quite know what kind of curveball he might throw next, and just when the reader falls into a sense of false predictability, everything changes 🤯

when I first started, I was a bit overwhelmed by the huge cast of characters, especially as I had no idea how they all fit in with each other. however, looking back, it was the perfect way to introduce the reader to the elaborate plot! 

while I went into this story thinking it was going to be about ryan trying to prove his innocence that he didn’t unalive his girlfriend, that was only the tip of the iceberg folks!! buckle up for a wild ride!!

thank you to netgalley and minotaur for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
