Review #453
I haven’t read a thriller in a while though this felt more like a half-mystery, half mild thriller. I gave it 4.6/5 stars and enjoyed the twist! there were multiple points of view, both first and third person.
Here are my comments while reading:
I’m reading this as an audio so I may spell characters names wrong. Phillipa is an author of a crime series. In the night she’s supposed the win an award she is abducted. Following her memory and mind is somewhat muffled and the reader doesn’t know what happened, who took her, or why.
10 months later, the world things Phillipa has ran away to start a new identity. The search for her has dwindled down.
Then a new book of hers is found and about to be published which brings her name back into the lime light.
The audio narrator who has been the voice of her series has the second point of view and is being hired to work on the project.
How will their stories tangle together? Who took Phillipa? Was it an obsessed fan? Will she ever be found/released?
Here are my random thoughts:
Chapter 10 goes back to a year earlier which is intriguing but a little jolting.
Chad is terrifying. In chapter 14 everything has changed and the pace slowed. I got a little bored. Plus, if the daughter gets kidnapped this will be a hard “no” book for me because I can’t do child abduction which is so frequent in thrillers.
Is the villain Fleur’s ex husband?
Or the publisher?
Or Chad, the super fan?
Or Hugo’s new baby momma?
I hate Hugo. End of sentence.
Chapter 39- I feel so uncomfortable with any scene involving a Hugo
The climax scene is annoying by how Chad keeps prolonging giving the information. Some of that was unnecessary and only served the plot.
You’d think after all the books I’ve read I’d have seen the twist. I did not predict that outcome!!
