A Friend in the Dark by Samantha M. Bailey
3.75
tense medium-paced

Thank you to Thriller Book Lovers Promotions and Thomas and Mercer for the advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a great twisty thriller that kept me guessing. Eden's husband just left her and she is feeling lonely and vulnerable and decides to look up her first love, Justin. She becomes friends with him on Facebook and reconnect via chat. She is excited about this connection and starts thinking about what life would be if she chose him. 

I will say that though this is a romantic suspense, there isn't much romance. Eden's naivety sort of drove me bonkers and would not consider this romance because there on wooing and just exchange of texts and not a lot of feelings. 

The second half of the book picked up with the twists and I really enjoyed it.
