Welcome to Litsy!

This started off strong but got so annoying in the second half that I wished they'd all just jump off a cliff.

Well written. Fast paced. Not too cliched. Overall not too bad. Just the ticket for a beach or plane read. Liz Nugents Lying in wait is a similar theme and I would highly recommend that.

Characters were absolutely awesome.

This wasn't just a thriller: there was a lot of scenes handling family relationships / broken family. But the mystery was there all the time and I was intrigued to know more.

This wasn't really original story, it was devastatingly easy to guess the most important things. I have to admit that I was expecting some great twist.

Captivating and entertaining to read.

This book was dreadful for me. The main characters are awful. The way the addict was portrayed was very stereotypical, and poorly written. The book was very flat and very predictable. I knew the outcome at about the 40% mark. The family dynamic was absolutely terrible, and hardly got better.

While the first section of the story felt slow and often times disjointed due to the multiple points of view, after 50% it was nail-biting intensity. It brought much needed attention to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. I think the podcast bit could have been removed easily as well as the anonymous viewpoint.

This is a very soft pick for me. While I enjoyed watching the craziness unfold and figuring out how various characters actually knew each other, I also think the plot was sometimes hard to follow, especially as an audiobook. At the end of the day I enjoyed the story overall but didn‘t really care about any of it after I was through (if that makes sense). 🌟🌟🌟💫
