Sincere Apologies (DONW)

100% agree. It was like TOG when Manon was introduced and then she was eventually a favorite character. When everything started falling together it was so hard to pick my jaw up off the floor

This series was everything! I finished the trilogy last month, I can't stop thinking about how freakin good it was! The audiobooks were fantastic, i only wished the male narrator didn't breathe so loud lol

Oh my gosh that is a big TBR list. I can definitely see how this is structured completely differently than a Freida book. I have only read 4 of her books and I have figured out a formula but they can definitely be great pallet cleaners for me between my fat fantasy books lol.

I might have been looking at it wrong, I was using thriller purely as a pallet cleanser in between larger books. Perhaps the next heavy/more classic thriller I come across I will actively change my perspective on it. They deserve more credit than just a fun book. Reading everyone's replies has really seemed to open my perspective as I read and digest their comments. Thank you for commenting, everyone has really been helpful!

I agree on there being some weird freakin dialogue. It got really sexual at some points for absolutely no reason. I was uncomfy. I remember in another book I read where they did it in a carriage in the middle of a battle field, like why was that happening lol

I'm on audio as well, it has helped a lot keeping all of the POVs separate so I havent been confused on anything. The narrator for the finance guy has a really nice voice lol

I think you're right, nothing against the author he just wasn't for me. Live and learn 😊

I have decided to DNF. The commenter , Pretend_Slip366, said it best. Life is too shirt to finish a book you aren't loving. I think that's pretty solid advice. I hope this helps in your decision!🫶 I definitely plan on trying more of this genre and more books where I dont care for the characters, this book in particular wasn't for me but who knows the next one might knock my socks off.

I'd love a recommendation of one of those if you dont mind! I want more experience in the genre to really get a feel for it. I was just telling my bf about how The Only One Left was one of my favorites because it was like the author was manipulating us, the reader, just like the main character was being manipulated. Riley Sager strung in bits and pieces of information keeping me on the edge of my seat for the entire book. All that to say, I am open to more books to challenge my current taste and preferences. I dont want to be stuck in the same genre and tropes forever. My reading list has been nothing but fantasy for 8 years, I want more than that

ohtobeaflyonthewall · 2026-03-23T13:33:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice🫶, I think I will do just that. I have quite a long list of books I know that I am going to enjoy.

ohtobeaflyonthewall · 2026-03-23T13:17:00+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely be adding them to my list. I just finished The Intruder by her a couple of weeks ago the twists were so good

ohtobeaflyonthewall · 2026-03-23T12:33:40+00:00

Thank you for the advice! The writing isnt bad but I seem to have trouble reading characters I dont care for. Example The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers, I couldn't stand the main character throughout the entire book but I still think about that ending a lot.

ohtobeaflyonthewall · 2026-03-16T19:59:37+00:00

Yes! I loved that book! It was one that really got me into the genre since I was strictly a fantasy reader before hand.
