“If they say I’m missing, I’m not. I’ve been killed – and I need you to know that I love you.”

This book has a very interesting premise and a unique writing style. It wasn’t all from character POV’s, the story unfolded partially through documents and transcripts, which I found quite enjoyable. I love when authors take risks and diverge from the expected. It was overall an entertaining story, but it honestly wasn’t one of my favourite thrillers. 

Despite this not being one of my favourites, I still thought the writing was good. Kerry Wilkinson did a good job at painting a picture of a scene and conveying how the characters were feeling. There wasn’t much fluff in terms of writing style, it was very straight to the point which is what I like in thrillers. 

My key problem with this book was the pacing. It had a really strong start with Eve finding the tapes and starting to listen to them. It gripped me for a while, wondering what was going on. The ending was also very strong, with some twists that were slightly predictable (which I didn’t find to be a big problem), it wrapped up the story nicely. However, the middle of the book just lacked that excitement. I found some of the dialogue a bit mundane and repetitive and I struggled picking up the book for a while.  

Some of the characters fell a little flat, I didn’t necessarily like or dislike them, but that was the problem. I just didn’t really care much about them, they just felt like they were there. We got some depth to the main character and I liked how those mysterious gaps were filled and really added to Eve’s personality. But the others just felt present, not part of the story.
