My Review: This was such a great read! It is so hard to find original thrillers and this one was definitely a take that I hadn't seen before. The writing was great, very entertaining and kept me interested. It is told through two POV's, both of which were well done and kept me interested. This was super fast paced and I loved the flow. Overall this was a great book. I knocked it down a star for the little bit of predictability but don't let that dissuade you.
