SIMON LELIC - THRILLERS TO KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT:
This book was so twisty and so character-driven it was an absolute blast!
When we first meet Susanna and Adam I did not imagine the journey we were going to take over the next few hours! I mean wowzers!! What a thrilling time!
I was a bit confuddled at first as to why Susanna was bearing her soul to Adam, I mean why would the therapist answer all his questions. Then things became clear. I tried to figure things out but even I got bamboozled on some things. Especially when Susanna would say something, something so innocently when she figured out who Adam was, well jaw drop moment! I was shocked! So many clangers and secrets, but just wow! The ending, well it could have gone one of two ways, I’m still not sure if it went the way I wanted or not. Don’t get me wrong it was probably the ending I was expecting but in a way, and probably more dark and sadistic, I may have wanted a different ending – read the book and you might get what I mean.
This was a very chilling tale, where most of the “action” takes place in one room. The hear and now and as the revelations begin to unfold, everything just intensified.
I just couldn’t stop listening to the audiobook, it was addictive. I blasted through this in two days and if I hadn’t had the school run to do, I would have finished this in one day. It was that damn good. It made my jaw drop, it made me feel cold, I was worried and I was shocked to my core. I just can’t stop thinking about this journey I have been on!! Something I won’t get over anytime soon.
I just have to say, I can NOT wait to see what Lelic does next! I will be pushing to the front to get it. Just seeing the books I have to catch up on makes me feel like a child in a sweet shop!!!
Until the next time xxx
