Book no.12
It was fast, action-filled, and full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.
The dialogue is fast-paced, well-written, and witty. I was in love with the first-person POV of Din, the "Watson" to Ana, the "Holmes" if you will of this mystery thriller, they have such an interesting dynamic, which I loved as he's her apprentice. I can't get over how much I loved reading about her from his pov.

I read this quickly and mostly enjoyed it. But I'll defend my rating by saying that it's not the use of various mental health issues to propel a thriller that bothers me – that can be incredible. It's the reliance on dumb tropes to do so that really grinded my gears. Not for me y'all. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC, though.
For a debut, this was an exciting thrill ride. Southeast Asia, remote island, escapism, exoticism, lies within lies within lies, so many exciting twists and turns, murder, blackmail, it‘s all there. The play between the 2 narrators adds to the mystery and I did not see the end coming. I can‘t wait for more from this author. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was absolutely bloody brilliant. Thank you @AardvarkBookClub for picking a book from one of my favorite authors! ♥️

The Litsy reviews for this book have been brutal but I really enjoyed it. I was entertained! Considering he‘s been working with Harlan Coben so much in the last several years, it felt as I expected it to: fast paced page turner requiring some suspension of disbelief, but hey, it‘s brain candy! I‘d certainly give another if his books a go.
