dropped because this is based on real and relatively recent events. Not sure what possesses people to think they have to right to write cheap entertainment about real life horrific events when people affected by them are still alive but rethink your life choices.
Robyn Harding is guaranteed to give you an addicting read and this delivered.
However I don't think this is a very unique book, the plot was pretty boring and predictable, and there weren't any jaw dropping twists.
It was okay.
If you read a lot of thrillers you could skip this one, but I still had fun because it was fast paced.
2.5. I have mixed feelings on this one. It is very clearly based off of the crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, yet the author NEVER mentions this fact.... which really rubs me the wrong way. Kinda feels like the author is profiting from a very, very real and horrific events. I think they at least needed to note the connection.
Just like the character in this book, Karla accepted a plea and said she was forced into the murders by her abusive partner, but later video evidence showed otherwise... she is alive and free to this day, and just like the character in this book- has children. These similiarites are far to0 convienent and yet the author just brushes through it as pure fiction. 3 women are dead at the hands of those horrific killers- those three victims shouldn't be fodder for a thriller plot so clearly derived from their stories.
Aside, this is not written poorly and it did build the suspense well, but the end did seem too fast and had some loose ends that I felt were brushed over.
this was really intriguing at first but ended up being pretty boring and predictable
