I'm so sad I didn't love this, but I am interested in the characters in the next books so I'll give this series another go....more

I'm so glad I did, as once I understand this, I really got into it. This was so bad it was good. Like scary movie in book form. This was hilarious and made me laugh out loud multiple times and the black and blue dress as the driving force of the thriller... I'm dying ...more

I had so much fun reading this and it gave me the giggles throughout. A bit overdramatic on the smut but I was kinda there for it. A guilty pleasure read but I have no shame lol....more
I picked this up with pretty low expectations if I'm honest as Ware's other books were just fine. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. TheI picked this up with pretty low expectations if I'm honest as Ware's other books were just fine. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The fact that I finished this off when there was a blackout from the winds made it even more eerie. I wouldn't class this as a mystery, but it was a fun read. ...more
On reading the synopsis, this one didn't really jump out at me, but I picked it up on a whim when trying to get out of a slump, and it surprised me. IOn reading the synopsis, this one didn't really jump out at me, but I picked it up on a whim when trying to get out of a slump, and it surprised me. I loved the toxic friendship influencer drama in this, and some of the twists generally shocked me. Ending was a bit too convenient for my liking, but I still had a fun time with this. Just the type of mindless thriller I needed at the moment. It felt like I was going down a TikTok wormhole in real life and I loved it!...more

The way she integrated all the different point of views together was amazing. I was a bit sceptical of the ghost element, as I usually don't like that in my thrillers, but this one worked so well. The fact that I woke up early to sacrifice my sleep in and finish this says it all! In true Lapena fashion, she had me guessing until the last page, and I was shocked. ...more
I enjoyed this more than I was expecting which was great. I'll definitely read more from this author.

3.75 stars This took me a little while to get into, but one I couldn't put it down. Definitely a read in one sitting thriller. I liked the "locked room3.75 stars This took me a little while to get into, but one I couldn't put it down. Definitely a read in one sitting thriller. I liked the "locked room" aspect of being trapped in the car. This was a bit eerie reading as one of the charactered had the same name as me. This was very much like a lifetime thriller movie with the wildness of the ending which I'm not mad at as I was starting to feel very slumpy....more
Wow, I haven't enjoyed a thriller like this in so long. If I'm being picky, I'd classify this as closer to 4.75 ☆'s as the epilogue put a damper on itWow, I haven't enjoyed a thriller like this in so long. If I'm being picky, I'd classify this as closer to 4.75 ☆'s as the epilogue put a damper on it, but that is a me problem -- (view spoiler)[unnecessary love *sigh* (hide spoiler)].
Other than that, I had such a fun time reading this and was so surprised by the twists throughout - one after the other. I'm so happy to have broken the 5 star thriller drought and hope I can keep it up....more

This was very surprising and the twists were so good. It would have got a five star if not for the happy ever after ending. A bit unrealistic in my opinion. This read very much like a Sally Hepworth and I would consider reading this author again in the future....more
Wow, I can't believe I broke the great 5 star drought of 2024 and on a YA no less. I am so surprised and happy!

This was a slow burn to start with, and I am so glad I persevered with this. There was just something about it that drew me in, and once it got going I was hooked. This was dark, mysterious and had a lot of great social commentary about what young women face in society. How Àbíké-Íyímídé crafts her stories is just amazing and I will forever read whatever she writes....more
