Review

The audiobook is a thriller that you will not be comfortable listening especially from the beginning. The introduction involves a group of characters on borrowed time in a tense moment. Although it is a romantic thriller, Meyer uses her exceptional skill to bring the tension that captures you from the very start instead of a build up into the story. She uses third narration style, which seems harsh on the protagonist character; Alex who killed her mentor, and soft for Alex falling in love.
