It was well written, thrilling, and kept me interested!!!! I really liked it.
Sick, Demented, Twisted... But A Slow Build To Get There. This is one of those stories where the description sounds intriguing and the prologue certainly does its job of dragging us into the book (Do not skip it, as it is essential)... but then we get more of a slow burn mystery build through the front half of the book. Not far into the second half, things pick up with a particular revelation, and then the snowball begins rapidly rolling downhill. The final chapters become utterly riveting, with revelation after revelation and so many twists you're not going to want to go too fast down this mountain road. And then everything gets wrapped up tidily as one would generally expect in the genre. Indeed, if there is any qualm to be had here it is that this particular story could likely have done well with a much more open and speculative ending - but I know I'm in the minority of readers in appreciating those (when appropriate). Very much recommended.
I did enjoy this book, but I felt that the middle plot went on for quite a while. The twist at the end was great, but I think there could've been more buildup to it. I overall liked this book though.
This is a great one! Lot's of surprises, 250 Pages, Good characters. Wife, assumed missing & dead 10 years earlier shows up at remarried husband's house and the fun begins!!! If you like mysteries you will get a kick out of this. This may be up for some awards later this year! David N.
so fucking dumb. dumb plot, dumb characters. AFTER 9 YEARS OF VIOLENT ABUSE, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WANT TO EXTORT MONEY FROM YOUR CAPTOR INSTEAD OF FUCKING GOING TO THE POLICE ???? MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.
and those plot twists went from stupid to stupidER. i hate this book.
it's such a waste because the writing style was actually nice, read it like a breeze, but that damn plot
This one had a plot twist I was not expecting, I would recommend to specific friends but not to everyone.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed this one quite a lot. It was a super quick read (finished it all in one go). Slightly predictable (figured out one twist right from the start). However, it was off the charts entertaining and, for that reason alone; I am giving this one, two solid thumbs up!
