Never saw this ending coming. It wasn’t one of the many I considered as the final plot. Great job by the author
Really didn’t care for this book. Everyone else seems to love it.
I certainly expected better. I expected something for my time, got nothing.
A great suspense with an engaging plot and a surprise ending. This book grabs you from the very beginning and keeps you riveted as two unlikely charactersattempt to escape danger at every turn. The action intensifies as they run out of people to trust. The plot line is about an author who lives the nightmare of one of her own suspense thrillers. I found the story original and entertaining. Not quite sure if I put all the pieces together at the end but this is a thrill ride that was well worth any lingering questions.
