"SPOILER ALERT!!! Yes this book was a very good read but the ending was absolutely ridiculous. Supernatural bs. Yes it was surprising but that’s because it’s completely unbelievable. It’s not really that hard to come up with a ludicrous twist at the end if you just make something up that is literally impossible in real life. Such a cop out and in my opinion it feels like lazy writing. "

"This book, reminds me of Stephen King’s Lisey’s story. Which happened to be the most amazing thriller I had ever read, until this book. It’s very hard at this moment to review this book without spoilers but, this is by far my favorite mystery thriller fiction horror book of the 2021. You meet Louise and David who meet by chance, only to discover that their cute meet was a mistake, David is very much married and happens to be Louise’s boss the morning after. In comes the wife, luxurious beautiful Adele with a weird tangled past full of skeletons, mind games, secrets and deceit. I promise you, you think you will know and for like some parts my gut was spot on. HOWEVER, not once did I see the end coming. NOT. ONCE. I read this book in a day. You tell me if it isn’t amazing. "
