Cat discovers her picture on the news as a person of interest in a murder. But she didn't do it and was otherwise engaged at the time. Who would have given her description to the police? But who knew the secret she shared with the murder victim who she hadn't seen in the 17 years since they left high school? This all sounds like the beginning of an amazing thriller but unfortunately it fell a little flat. Cat's character was just annoying and unlikable, there were a couple of interesting twists, but no real zingers, and the grand final reveals lacked any real WOW! factor.

All and all it was enjoyable, and a short quick read. Just not the kind of psychological thriller that I'll be thinking about later.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Quercus for allowing me to review a copy of #DestroyMe.… (mehr)

So this is one of those stories that actually sounds much better than it actually was.
There was nothing really wrong with this, it was well written and all but I felt that everything seemed to take forever and a day to accomplish here and events began to get a bit stale and then same all, same all.
The beginning and end of this were quite good it was the middle here that managed to lose me somewhat.
This still had a lot going for it and I was still invested in the characters and their eventual fates.
So the introduction was explosive and I really did like it.
It set the scene for things to come and because of it, I was questioning everyone's motives and hidden agendas.
As this story unfolded this is where things started to take a nosedive for me I felt Abby was going around in circles and I just couldn't believe that nobody was taking the poor girl seriously.
Not her sister or her best mate Danny, this shocked me slightly and also made me very sad that she had no one exclusively fighting her corner.
I also felt that Abby had no deeper connection to Alex at all beyond the superficial, despite what she claimed I just wasn't feeling any warm and fuzzies from her at all.
I felt that this side-plot was there just to add some flavour to proceedings but in my opinion, this really was not needed.
Abby herself came across as a slightly selfish neurotic individual and this was told completely from her POV.
I didn't really like her as a character and maybe if I had taken more to her I might have liked this book better.
I also felt that none of the relationships portrayed here seemed that deep and they lacked meaning.
The connections and friendships all seemed flimsy and somewhat superficial so as a result I never really formed a deeper attachment to anyone.
The finale itself here I thought was really good and also the epilogue was also very much to my liking.
On conclusion despite some ups and downs here I did enjoy this it just didn't entrall me or blow me away.
It did have a great original premise and as I said was well written.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of "Deliver Me"
All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
