Knock Knock by Chris Merritt
3.0

I struggled with this one. Parts of it were just slow and longwinded which made it hard to keep my brain engaged. I really liked Dan and Lexi’s characters but I found their chemistry a bit forced. Also how many times do you have to mention that Dan likes drinking Stella?

On the plus side the murders were gruesome and piqued my interest. I was constantly kept guessing and spent a lot of time trying to work out who the red herrings were. I didn’t guess the murderer but I was a bit underwhelmed at the reveal. It felt like there hadn’t really been much to make us consider that person. At least it was a surprise though. I also found the motive behind the murders pretty scary. The whole misogyny and toxic masculinity adds a very real element to it and the chat room parts just cemented that for me.

I would definitely read the next instalment as I would love to know more about Dan and Lexi.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
