What I Didn’t Like:

I didn’t love or relate to any of the characters, which can be problematic.
The different POVs sounded very similar. In a multi-POV like this I prefer for them to have nuances in their language or speech patterns so you can almost start a chapter and just tell who is talking. You can’t do that here, they’re all the same.
The middle of the book is very repetitive. The characters are lost and it drags the story out a bit while they repeat things. It’s intended to build tension, and it does, but the pace suffers for it.

The opening chapter is compelling. You are invested in the danger and the mystery right away, you want to know who this is. That was a smart move.
The ending delivers surprises and shocks. All things are explained and most of it will surprise you. Plus, the ending moves quickly!
The writing of the deaf character is well done. Either the author has experience with hearing loss or the research was well done.

Fans of a thriller with twists they didn’t figure out. This one is packed with twists, at least 1 is bound to shock you!
