The Locked Door by Freida McFadden
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
will I binge all of freida's books in a single month? it's a high possibility since I keep FLYING through her backlist and loving every single one!!! she has not let me down yet 🤌🏼
THE LOCKED DOOR was 100% a psychological thriller with a serial killer family element - reminding me a lot of A FLICKER IN THE DARK. since being totally caught off guard with the plot twists in that one, I was able to guess most of the twists in this one - but the ending still totally got me!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I love how binge-worthy freida's books are, and this one was no exception! I found myself rooting for the good guys, the bad guys, and even the side characters. I loved the balance between MC nora and her partner rowan (who had me thinking and crying over throne of glass once again LOL 🥹) - and how he really looked out for her during her recovery I loved it so much 🤠
ALSO, can we talk about the way freida fooled me with the twists again? PLS I was once again screaming at 2am 😰😰😰
