My review:
Another twisty thriller from this great writing duo! Interestingly I've read both of these authors solo works, and while they are good reads, the combo of them together takes their books to the next level. I will say that their second book, An Anonymous Girl remains my favorite, but this one was still a page turner. I loved that the main character Shay was into statistics, and kept a notebook of random facts, some of which appear at the beginning of chapters. Some were really mind boggling! There were lots of women to keep track of in this one, which made it a bit confusing, but it all comes together in the end so don't get too mired in keeping them all straight. This is one of those books that I can't say too much without revealing spoilers, but it took me for quite the ride, and I had no idea what was happening (or why) throughout the whole thing! The only slight negative I will inject is that I thought Shay was a bit too naive and trusting to suddenly turn into a super sleuth. You know the saying "if it seems too good to be true?"......yeah, that was me yelling at Shay throughout the book!
If you are looking for a fast paced thriller that has so many twists you shouldn't even bother trying to figure out what is going on, this one is for you. Can't wait to see what these two think up next!
Great review!! And I agree, extremely twisty!
