excellent read

I loved everything about this book. Brandon Massey is now my new favorite author. I can't wait to read more of his work.

Great read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It is well written with an interesting storyline. Although I was able to predict a lot of what was coming next, I truly felt like I knew each character and genuinely either liked or despised them.

excellent as expected

I love the narrator for this one. I can always expect a very entertaining listen. The story was exciting all throughout. Great listening experience!

Not my fav thriller

I would have liked multiple perspectives in this novel. The narrator was basically reading one run on sentence the entire time and it would have been nice to have another narrator with better voices.

Killer Friendship

This is a well written book with great characters. Lots of: what?!, OH My! .
The actions of the villain is something that could happen in real life.
