😬 Wow, I probably should have just devoted all my time to finishing this dang book before I spaced out with The Girl Who Played with Fire for how quickly I read the last 130 pages, but I was trying a new thing where I read more than one book at a time—spoiler alert: it didn't work and I don't wike it. But yeah, this was a breeze to get through, and definitely keeps you wanting more. I have a feeling all of Riley Sager's books are going to be like... the equivalent of "thriller beach reads." They definitely read like you're being force-fed a plot that's only going in one direction. Nothing wrong with that—actually, I was kind of expecting it—sometimes it's nice to read a quick thriller.

I will say... (view spoiler)[was not expecting that extra twist at the end. I was prepared for disappointment when Jules thought she had the whole thing solved at first—bc Satanic cults are so overdone, right—but that organs on the black market motive was so much better and sinister and a huge ICK. At least, for my personal ICK factor, I was 1000% making a NOPE face throughout the last 30 pages. (hide spoiler)]

Oh, and funny side story, I watched the movie Ready or Not at some point in February and WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT RICH PEOPLE AND DUMBWAITERS (also funny bc of how that movie ends)
