The characters were quite unlikeable and hard to sympathize with. This made it harder to enjoy the book.
The writing did keep me engaged and there were some twists I didn't see coming.
Narrator(s) Rating: 4.5 stars
All the narrators did an excellent job, though the one who did Emma's voice was a bit flat. They were the only reason I bothered to finish the book.

I didn't see the majority of the twists coming, and that made me continue reading it, but I wasn't as interested in it and thought it would hook me more than it ended up doing. I didn't think the switch in perspective or the storytelling in those perspectives was as impactful as I would have liked. It took too long for me to get into, even as I listened to it in audiobook format.
I was hoping for more out of this but am still pleased with what I read. I will definitely still read more that Gillian McAllister puts out and think she is a strong voice in the thriller genre.
