I'm a big fan of his other books, but this was not for me. 
And I can't stand the way women are described in this one 😬🥴

This author is clearly gifted. I’m reading this book after having read some of his more current books and so I definitely think this review ends up being bias. His newer works are even better than this book. But this book is still such a suspenseful ride. You could never figure out what’s going to happen and it’s so fun to follow along with.
