★3 stars
YESSS I know, this book had me so engrossed for 85% of it that I forgot to even log the darn thing. I love me a thriller, or any book really, that has me losing all sense of time in how much it keeps me immersed. Quick chapters, a fast-paced plot, high levels of suspense?? Yes please! 😱
So if that’s the case, why the 3 stars, Courtney??? Make it make sense!! 🤔
How sad that the last 15% of the book or so had it tumbling so far downhill. I do not lie when I said every aspect of this book had my blood boiling at astronomical levels. Between the naive, idiotic Joanne, to the devious, lying step daughter Chloe, to the gaslight king himself Richard (Joanne’s husband and Chloe’s biological father), I wanted to shake every single one of them so hard for their words and actions! Joanne would fall into every trap Chloe laid, and with Richard calling her crazy and mentally unstable constantly, she couldn’t have formulated a strategic response if she tried 😤
The ending conflict felt a bit drawn out and ridiculously unbelievable/cliche that my eyes tired out from all their rolling. My 3 stars are for the buildup and the buildup alone! BUT. I would say I’d recommend for anyone wanting a v quick, heart-pounding thriller!

@Krysta lmaooooo this is sending me 🤣🤣🤣 Review is up and I’m still salty the ending let me down!!!
@aimee I know this was such a bummer in the end!! The last 15% lost all its momentum unfortunately 😣
this book let me down so bad, forgot to add it to my "read" shelf😭. All that stupid buildup for nothing and the so called ending was painfully obvious.
