The Blame Game by Sandie Jones
4.0

Read Completed 4/14/23 | I was wondering why this book had such a low average rating on Goodreads and then I got to the end.... It wasn't BAD but it was a severely missed opportunity to tie everything together that was set up throughout the entire book and give readers some good answers. Instead, it was rushed, lackluster, and left a lot of things unused/open-ended. 

BUT I really, really did enjoy the rest of it. Had the ending not been so sloppy, it really would have been a 4.5 star read for me. I'm leaving it at 4 stars because I really did enjoy the entire book up until the end. The audiobook narrator was Karissa Vacker, which was 100% the reason why I picked it up, and that also really helped my reading experience since I always enjoy her narration and it also reminds me of previous books I've enjoyed where she's been the narrator. 

THE BLAME GAME had a lot of really good twists. It wasn't always a shocking plot twist, but there were plenty of little things to keep me on my toes and guessing what was really happening. There was so much doubt cast, so many options, so many clues. I guess not all of them were clues, which was a shame, but I really did enjoy the experience, at least.
