The first part is slow, and I wasn’t sure if I’d continue, but I pushed through because I was curious where it would go. I’m so glad I did! The pacing picked up after the halfway mark, and the final twist completely blew my mind. I definitely didn’t see that coming. While I was leaning towards a 3-star rating initially, the unexpected turn of events in the last part bumped it up. The audiobook version kept me hooked, and I couldn’t stop listening. Overall, a gripping psychological thriller with a heart-stopping conclusion!
