First of all I can’t believe this was a debut!!! I totally loved it right from the start. It was incredibly fast paced and gave me complete and utter whiplash. Any thriller that throws me for a loop and has me questioning not only the characters but myself and suspicions of the story is the best kind of book in my opinion. 

Told from multiple points of view dive into a world of deception , lies, and murder. Two women on the same flight one fleeing from an abusive boyfriend and the other on a business trip are about to be thrown into a world full of chaos and crime. After landing both women are reported missing and both have shared with their loved ones via text that they met the same man and told them they believed they were in danger. Who is this man? What is the connection to the women? 

I usually can spot a plot twist a mile away but this one honestly kept me on my toes and guessing until the final page. Most of my theories were not correct and I didn’t even have any working theories until about halfway. This threw me for a loop in the best way!
