I REALLY thought I figured out the ending of this book as I methodically listened to the Audible, but Freida McFadden did it again with the twists and turns and unreliable narrators...great read!!

This was a great book and Freida McFadden didn't disappoint! I was hooked and binged the last 1/3 of the book in one night as I really wanted to know if my predictions were right as I tried to solve the story. REALLY GOOD READ!!

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Interesting read!
Reviewed: 02-27-24
There was a lot of world-building at the start of this book and a lot of terminology as part of this world-building that made it difficult for me to follow, but by the end of the first third of the book I had gained an understanding, was able to follow, and really started understanding & enjoying the story.
Great cliff-hanger ending to keep me excited for the sequel!!

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

An amazing read and highly recommend...I did not expect the ending and the author did an amazing job of misdirection by the two different character perspectives through one character's diary and through another character's narration

recommend if you enjoy heist stories
Reviewed: 08-03-23
This was a well-written book, but it just didn't catch my attention as much as I thought it would based on the description - I did like the representation of an all-female group of burglars!
Still recommend if you enjoy heist stories where you get multiple characters' perspectives as the story unfolds.

You think the story is going one way and then bam, it takes a completely different turn and then another turn again...I really thought I could predict the ending, but I was surprised to find out that I didn't predict it at all...highly recommend if you love a good psychological thriller!!
