Keeps you guessing
Good cast
All aboard!
I have to admit I haven't read the book, so can't compare the two. However as a thriller this is brilliant and definitely one of the best films of last year for me. It's gripping, raunchy, brutal and will have you on the edge of your seat for the whole ride!

Gripping from start to finish
I was absolutely hooked by this psychological thriller. A lot of twists and turns, you delve into the mind of an alcoholic, and even feel like you experience the same nerve wracking incidents in which nothing is fluid. The characters were believable, with both good and bad sides highlighted. Nothing is what it seems. A well-constructed book.

Truth or fiction??
Contains spoilers, click to show
Found this series very enjoyable - maybe a bit too close to possible reality. The main storyline is gripping, and so are the subplots. The ending made me wonder if Grace is likely to join forces with Hicks and Renko. Presuming - hoping - there will be a second series.

Questions, questions. Where's Evan? What happened to the camp? Ben and Cassie? Cassie and Evan? Will anyone get their real name back? Where are they going?

A gripping read with a scifi and dystopian feel. I had no idea cover to cover who to trust, who were good guys and bad guys. So much potential going into the next book.

I love Karin Slaughter novels and this one did not disappoint!

Her books are gripping, full of emotion and the intensity begins with the opening chapter and doesn’t let go until the end.

This is a stand alone novel and I read it in two sittings.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

I can honestly say this is one of the best new shows I've watched recently. The cast a amazing and the visuals are fab. If you read the books you won't be disappointed like the movie. The story develops at a good pace and so far never feels rushed. Each episode leaves you wanting to know more. I would really recommend
