I don't always love domestic thrillers, but this one hooked me and didn't let me down. I love to see if I can figure out the twists before they happen. This time I figured out a few, but definitely not all of them!...more

Nathan Fallon is Come for the beautiful cover and stay for the procedural. FBI Agent, Lisa Tanchik is field trained, but her expertise is cybercrimes. Nathan Fallon is a libertarian and college student who creates a cyber commerce website, Kyte, on the dark web. Agent Tanchik is tasked with discovering and capturing the mastermind behind Kyte.

This book was not for me. I have zero patience for cheating. Especially when the cheater blames everyone but herself for doing it. None of the characters were likable, they all needed to grow up and take responsibility for their actions.

Girl Most Likely is about a ten year high school reunion for the class of 2009. That in and of itself is unlikely.

At best, most 10 year reunions for Millennials is going to a bar. Social media has taken away the desire to get back together so soon. The occupations that these 28 year old's hold are laughable; a Police chief, high powered attorney (maybe out of law school 5 years at best), multiple business owners.

The author makes a comment about the #metoo "phenomenon" and I think that put me over the edge. It is not a "phenomenon" is the verbalizing a problem that has been happening for a very long time. Definitely written by a white man.
There was way too much attempted in this book. Too many undeveloped characters and unnecessary story lines. In the end, I don't think that I cared who murdered who. ...more
