Honestly, when I started this book, I had high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet them. I found it difficult to get into the story due to constant shifts in point of view and abrupt scene changes without breaks, which made the narrative confusing. Additionally, I didn’t find many surprising or shocking elements, and several events were hard to make sense of.
The first 15 chapters were the most challenging for me, but after that, the story started to get more interesting. One particular twist caught me off guard, and from that moment, things began to make more sense.
If you are a beginner to this genre or someone who enjoys thrillers and mysteries, you might find this book compelling. It wasn’t for me, but maybe it will work for you!
I honestly don’t even think this book deserves the one star I gave it. I really hated it. This is supposed to be a thriller, but nothing about it felt thrilling at all. It was more like reading 250 pages of… well, pure nonsense.
The plot goes nowhere, the tension is nonexistent, and the writing just didn’t work for me at all. I kept waiting for something exciting, something shocking, something, but it never came. It felt like a long, confusing, dragging mess that didn’t deliver anything the title promised.
Not for me at all. I’m just glad I’m done with it.
