Read 2 times. Last read September 4, 2024 to September 12, 2024.
This reread was too good!
—ĔĔĔĔĔĔĔĔĔĔ�
It’s rude for a book to be this good.
I feel a headache brewing because of how much this messed with my mind.
I’m in love.
I’m not going to lie, I pre-judged this. I made an ass out of myself to myself, because I assumed... certain things. Out of honesty, I’ll admit I was expecting this to be somewhat juvenile.
Turns out my assumption was juvenile.When will I learn?!
These kind of thrillers are right up my alley. I love courtroom drama. I love that we got a viewpoint from an absolute and errr, quite mesmerising psychopath, if I might add. Plus a viewpoint from a lawyer who’s stupidly skilled and exceptionally talented at his job and knows how to play the game like a fuckin� pro!
Let’s repeat what most people say about thrillers - or other stories, in general - and that it’s best to go in not knowing much at all. The buzzwords (courtroom drama, psychopath, serial killer etc) drew me in and that was good enough for me.
I was enthralled, start to finish. My anxiety was through the roof. The character development was great, the pacing was spot on, the writing was sharp and clever and the plot twists?! 👏🏾
I’m super happy this is a series, because I’ve now fallen in love with Eddie Flynn, so please excuse me whilst I go binge the other books.

"It’s like I’m watching reruns of Criminal Minds in my head. 🤩
Which also means I shouldn’t be reading this at night, because I’m a chicken, but this is oh so goooood!"

Confession time: I was like, I wonder if this is based on the movie, I remember really liking that. So I googled it.... The movie is called 'seven', not 'thirteen'. And they not even slightly related (cough).... Awkward.

But the movie does sound really good, so thanks? 😆

Might be the first time "my anxiety was through the roof" is actually a good thing haha. Really good review Warda, love how you capture the book's atmosphere and how you've been drawn into this book! I should have a tag on my shelves 'Books loved by Warda that I know I'm going to love as well'

I loved this one as well! I didn't know this was a series, but after reading this one and finding out, I'm reading the rest of the series as well. Finished the first book and it was also very good!
I read this because of you and loved it! Now I am obsessed with Eddie Flynn 🤧
