This was a riveting, twisty thriller that kept me enthralled the entire time! The audiobook production is especially well done. It has a full cast, and mock recordings/podcast episodes that veer into graphic audio territory with the sound effects. I’d definitely recommend listening to this one.
I already feel like I want to reread it, and I had that thought consistently as I progressed through the book.
The ending was a bit unsatisfying/vague in a negative way. I was left with a little bit of “that’s it?” The “basic bitch” line was also not the serve Alix thought it was. My face was this: 🥴
There are several extremely dark themes (adult/minor relationship, pedophilia, murder, incest to name a few) but nothing is “on page” or spelled out, just discussed.
I’d recommend this for new and old thriller fans.
