We've all done it. Finished an awful book, rated it one star, gave a bad review, and then didn't think about it again.

Emma Carpenter is house-sitting with her dog, Laika, at an isolated beach house on the Washington Coast. Emma, going through a rough time in her life and in a very depressive state, is filling her time with reading, walks on the beach, and playing white board window games with her neighbor, Deek. After reading a horrible 99 cent book, Emma submits a one star review on Amazon, and is dragged into an argument with the author where he advises her to remove her review. Emma refuses and then strange things start to happen, and there's no such thing as coincidence.

I'm not a big thriller reader, but the premise of this book got my attention immediately! I loved the way we got the villain's perspective from a future book and the clever acknowledgement section as well.
This one was well written and full of twists and turns all the way to the last page. Fun, fast paced, and a binge worthy read.

4.5 stars
