The Locked Attic

Thank you Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I don't usually read thrillers and therefore I find it a bit difficult to rate this book but overall, it was a nice reading experienced.

The story follows Stephanie who wakes up at an hospital bed after a series of explosions around the neighbourhood, suffering from short term amnesia. As the memory slowly comes back we learn of what happened in her neighbours house.

What I liked about the book:
- The story is fast paced, and I was hooked from the beginning, which I would say it is something important in the genre.
- I loved the dual POV, being Danny's chapters my favourite ones from the story.
- I liked the way the story was written and how the time jumps made it move forward.

What I think it could have been done better:
- The characters could have been more layered. Given the importance of the Franklins I think we end up knowing very little about them.
- I've found the ending a bit underwhelming.

It was an interesting read and I recommend it for Thriller and Mistery fans.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Neat cover on this book!

I am giving this one 4 stars solely on being entertained. This author's books are always highly entertaining and always have me furiously flipping the pages. Was the plot a little “meh”? Yes. Was the ending anticlimactic? Again yes, however this author never fails to suck me into his stories, so sometimes a book just being entertaining is enough.
