I really, really wanted this to be a 5-star read.
The first half had me completely hooked. I loved the plot, the characters, and the overall mystery. It was one of those books where I kept thinking, “Just one more chapter,” because I needed to know what was going to happen next.
Unfortunately, the ending just didn’t quite land for me. After such a strong build-up, I was expecting a bigger payoff, but it felt a little flat and left me wanting more. It wasn’t a bad ending by any means—it just didn’t live up to the expectations the rest of the book had set.
That said, I still really enjoyed my time with this one. The characters kept me invested, the story was entertaining, and I flew through it. Even though the ending stopped it from being a higher rating, I’d still recommend it if you’re after a gripping thriller with plenty of twists along the way.
