Summed
up in a sentence? "Gripping,
almost too close to home, an excellent creation”
SYNOPSIS
They
wanted the same things. Death - and an audience.
Eve
Singer makes her living from death. As a TV crime reporter, she'll go
to any length to get the latest scoop.
But
when a twisted serial killer starts using her to gain the publicity
he craves, Eve must decide how far she's willing to go - and how
close she'll let him get . . .
MY
OPINIONS
This
book had me constantly worrying that it was going to end too soon!
The characters, particularly our main character, Eve, are very easy
to either love or hate. They've been developed in such a way that you
find each individual character suited to their own category fairly
soon into the novel. Typically, this is something easily loathed by
myself. However, in this instance, I found it brilliant to have a
stereotypical thought about a character, as it kept me guessing as to
who the real killer was.
The
way the author goes between Eve's story and the killers' allows us to
see two very different methods of thinking. On the one hand, we have
Eve, who would pretty much do anything to secure her job and continue
reporting, even if it means putting friendships and relationships on
the line. But on the other hand, we have the killer, who has a
systematic plan in place for each of the murders he wants to have
published on the news. These contrasting methods kept me intrigued in
the way the novel was going to go, and constantly hoping that Eve
would catch up with the killer, and kinda secretly hoping that she
didn't, so I could have the mystery for just a little bit longer.
MY
RATING
Overall,
I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars, I absolutely adored this novel
and the flow of the story was easy to keep up with. I felt I could
understand Eve's character and her development was well carried out.
She was incredibly relatable as a character, which is what was needed
with the development of the story in my eyes. I'll definitely re-read
this one soon!
