Pretty Things

"Many enjoyable twists…highly recommend! Multiple points of view keeps it very interesting."

"I remember the hype for this book when it first came out, but...I didn't love it. It was very middle of the road. It wasn't bad, and it was juuuust interesting to keep me listening to the audio to see what would happen, but not enough to where I was really looking forward to it. I feel like there's a good concept here, but the rehashing of the same scenes got old when there wasn't enough variation. I also expected it to be a darker story, and was disappointed when it wasn't. I think this might be a better one for people who are just starting out with domestic thrillers."

"Odd ending "

"Solid characters, but needed to move just a tad faster to make it more of a psychological thriller."

"I enjoyed this book. Easy to read. Several twists that changed the story and moved it along. Would recommend "
