Just another thriller review?!?

Book #2 of 2026

I’ve seen so many speak highly on this book, and I wish I was one of them. However, this book just didn’t do it for me.

At first, I had thought maybe Jules was imagining these horrible things that happened to her. She went through some serious trauma with her family. Then to come across a great opportunity she can’t pass up. She finds herself in the most dangerous place someone could be in.

The story kept you thinking what could possibly be next, and not in a bad way either. It was just slow paced.

I would like another recommendation on a Riley Sager book. #thrillerbookreview #thrillerbooks #lemon8bookclub #rileysager
