I was hooked on this book right from the start! I thought the pacing was really good and there were different twists and turns along the way. I will say I did get a little lost with some of the computer jargon but it wasn't enough to deter me from the story. The book is over 400 pages so perhaps reading it there may be lulls in the middle but listening to it I was consumed in the story.

The three main relationships in the book: Ariel with her son Buzz, Ariel with her son's father Drew and Ariel with her coworker Zain - all 3 of these were just so wonderful!! I loved seeing Ariel and her son's interaction and just how being a mom is so important to her. We get the backstory of how she meets Drew and their relationship up until his death. And then we have quiet & reserved Zain who Ariel worked with on helping with the mystery of the text that appeared. They just trusted each other so much and had such a respect for one another.

From what I have heard Sarina is a queen at writing romance so it felt natural that she included a little bit of her craft into this. And it definitely made me swoony and also made me want to go and read her hockey romances (I may or may not have some on my shelf).

There were three narrators in this: Kathleen Early, Gary Tiedemann, Jason Clarke. I thought all three of them did a fantastic job with their respective point of views especially Kathleen who did a bulk of the narration as Ariel.

I am excited to see more of Sarina in this space. I thought this was such a strong debut in her doing a genre outside her norm.

If you are fan of thrillers with a little romance and a messy family - consider checking this one out!
