I want to start this review off by saying I knew how this was going to end about a third of the way through …
Why did I give it 5 stars then?
I’ve read a lot of thrillers so far this year, some have completely fooled me while others have been totally obvious. While this one fell into the totally obvious category the author did something else I didn’t expect. They made me feel the way you might feel while reading a contemporary book. There were multiple occasions towards the end where I was starting to tear up while reading this one because of just how horrible these main characters are. And trust me, you know they are horrible people from the very beginning. But man…. I really thought I was going to cry reading the ending to this one and I did not expect that at all.
Some of the things just hit so differently for me while reading this. And the sad thing is, shit like this happens all the time with so few consequences for the bullies of the world. I don’t really know how to put all my thoughts into words with this one and I’m reading into the story way more than I probably ever would have but this one just felt different to me.
