The Fall has been on my TBR for the longest time and I went into the book with such high expectations. I'm so glad I wasn't let down.
I went into this wanting to be left on the edge of my seat the way that Thrillers usually do and The Fall had me hooked! There was no shortage of twists and turns and I loved trying to work out what happened to Caily along with the other characters. I personally really enjoy unreliable narrators because I love the idea of there being no clear innocent character so the reader is left questioning everyone.
I can wholeheartedly say that I did not see the ending coming from a mile away and that's how you know the author has done a great job!
Without giving too much detail so I don't give any spoilers, the issue that I had is that I didn't like the implication between two characters. I felt it was inappropriate and unnecessary and it made me feel slightly uncomfortable.
I think what I loved the most about this book was the characterisation and how these characters felt so real. Their struggles, their fears and their anguish throughout the book felt like it was flowing from the pages.
Thank you to Harlequin for providing me with this copy to review.
