Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
2.5 Stars, rounded up.
Have you ever watched a thriller and it kept you on the edge for almost the entire movie? And then when the movie finally reaches a peak- it simply, ends? Instead of peaks and lows, you are simply on the edge, suspicious of everything happening, only to be somewhat let down at the end? That’s how this book read. Even during the scenes of violence, I felt disconnected from them.
The way gaslighting was portrayed wasn’t necessarily inaccurate. There were opportunities for more interesting scenes, and they weren’t used. There’s so much groundwork for more blatant manipulation or thrilling aspects. However, Bartz failed to use them repeatedly, which left me unimpressed.
Overall, this book wasn’t what I expected.
Full review will be posted on my blog on June 21st, 2021.
