I didn’t hate this book. I did appreciate the feminist narrative and touching on the topics of racism and fetishization. The toxic masculinity that was portrayed in the book felt very generic. I think the book could’ve benefited from a more less in your face misogyny examples to help give the character more depth. Same goes for the main character, I would’ve like to have read more into how she got to this place where she goes over the edge. It just happened, which leaves me wanting a bit more out of the character. You can read between the lines a bit to understand her frustration but the level of her extremities is what I wish had more reasoning behind. The gore was great. So if you’re looking for that you will definitely get that. One small thing I don’t care for, more so at the early parts of the book was the saturation of all the food talk. Not a big deal but I was getting full from all the eating references. Overall, just an ok book.

This was interesting read for me. This was a fast book to read, but there were times while I was reading that I was wondering where are you going with this. Which if it would have been longer, I think a lot of people would’ve gave up on it. There were a few spots in the book where I felt the creepy vibes. As you read it you see the big event coming but you don’t know how it’s coming. Which leads to it being a more satisfying read. I had idea that this was a movie, until after I read it. So now I can’t wait to see how the film brings the story to screen.

I’m not much of a history person, but this was fun and intriguing to read. I appreciated how they would throw in some modern day connections. I just wish there was a little bit more of that. The illustrations were great and very entertaining to go through as you read.

This was not as thrilling as I thought or wanted it to be. The story was fine but it did not have that page turner, keep you guessing, suspenseful type of feeling throughout it. I did not feel strongly about any of the characters. Just an ok story.

This book started in a downward trajectory for me because it was giving a very similar vibe as “The Guest” by Emma Cline and I did not like that book. The thing that made this book ok for me that is had more of a conclusion to it and you could actually see the growth in the main character. Something about how the style of how it was written I did not appreciate. To me the book did not have a good flow to it. The thing I did appreciate the most was the characters and the interactions were very realistic.

I love this book so much! This book is such a page turner in all the right ways. I enjoyed the vibe of both the main characters Myron and Win. The suspense, action and drama is absolutely perfect. When you think you know what the twist is gonna be, think again. It was a pleasant surprise to be surprised by the twist. And the twist made sense. You didn’t have to really stretch your mind to believe the twist once it’s revealed. I didn’t realize that this book was part of a series when I first started it. However I did not feel lost or I that I was missing any part of the story. This is my first Harlan Coben book and I picked a great one to start on a high note. I can’t recommend this book enough, especially if you are a thriller reader.

I enjoyed this book. My only gripe with it was that the book didn’t keep that guessing feeling throughout the book. The book went so hard trying to lead you to believe one thing that you just know it it wasn’t going to be that. By it doing that it took some of the suspense out of it for me. The ending was a little messy in my opinion, but overall still a decent read.

The word I left with this book is “interesting.” For me this book did not really pull me in. It had a lot of descriptions of gore. The second half was a little better. It’s not until you get to the very end of this book and put everything together in regards to the main character. I was gonna give it a 3.5 but I kept thinking about it after I was done so I had to give it a full 4 stars. It definitely became a psychological thing in the end to really make you think.

This book was fine. I definitely empathize with the authors situation. However, I was not as inspired as I was hoping to be. There was a lot of descriptions of medical situations. I wished the book had gone more in-depth on the author’s feelings a little more. I am open to reading it again to see if I can grasp something I may have missed.
