The Devil You Know by Trish Doller
3.0
Not a fan of this as much as I'd like to be. I love Trish Doller's writing, and also knowing this was a thriller I thought it was going to be a hit for me.
Unfortunately I guessed from the get go who the killer was, and because of that I wasn't surprised at all with the ending reveal. I couldn't really connect with the main character Cadie either.
I was also waiting for a VERY long time before anything got exciting. I'm talking over halfway through the book. I guess the character development and their relationships were more important than this being a thriller.
I still enjoyed the writing and the swoon worthy moments between Cadie and Noah, but if you've picked this up hoping to read an edge of your seat suspense/thriller then you'd be disappointed.
On a side note, and also a kind of spoiler (so read on at your own risk)
I loved that an alligator took the killer after he died. I SOOO wanted someone to be eaten or attacked by an alligator, and I kind of got my wish lol!
