Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an absolutely fantastic page-turner. This is one of those books that quietly hooks you in and then refuses to let go — I genuinely couldn’t put it down. Every chapter added another layer of tension, suspicion, and “wait… what’s really going on here?”
The storyline is brilliantly gripping, with just the right balance of misdirection and subtle clues. I didn’t guess who — which made the reveal all the more satisfying — but I did start to piece together certain links along the way. Some connections were cleverly hidden, others just obvious enough to make you feel like you’re onto something… before the rug is pulled out from under you.
It’s twisty without being ridiculous, tense without being overcomplicated, and completely absorbing from start to finish. A properly addictive psychological thriller and a very easy five stars from me.
Thoughts:
The shifting perspectives are making everything feel slightly off-balance (in a good way).
“Sometimes the truth doesn’t set you free… it traps you.”
