This is a tense thriller I was able to read into. Shay is a loner who, after witnessing a girl's suicide, finds out who she is and attends her funeral...after which things get going. There's tension and thrill, horror and gripping prose, and Hendricks kept me hooked through it all.
I wanted to give this more stars. I went in very excited....but at the end of it while I didn't absolutely love it, I didn't hate it either. It started off on the right track...but as the story went along I can't say I cared much about any of the characters. And there are many characters. I had no feeling one way or the other about any of them. The one thing I did like where Shay's stats. And she had data and statistics aplenty.
While there was no wow factor FOR ME..it was still worth the read. Yes I know this review isn't much to write home about but it simply was just OKAY for me. So I don't really know how else to put that in words. I finished a couple of days ago and this is all I got.
I was ready to rate this way higher but it fully jumped the shark in the last chapter. A deux ex machina (or several in quick succession in this case) is not a satisfying way to end a suspense novel.
