“A thriller with a very unexpected ending!”
Summary
16-year-old Clemens prefers to be on his own. He often sits in his room and even detonates a bomb in his own house. His father Ernst sees this as an experiment that got out of hand, but Clemens’ mother Mildred is very concerned. Lenthe, Clemens’ twin sister, get caught into clubbing and gets into a relationship with a man who is twelve years older. Not long after that, Lenthe feels like someone is chasing her and she receives anonymous notes. Then a girl disappears and all of the tracks lead back to Clemens…
Review
{Disclaimer: This book was given to me by Luitingh-Sijthoff in exchange for an honest review. This has not had a positive or negative effect on my review.}
I want to start off this review by thanking Luitingh-Sijthoff for giving me this book. When this book arrived in my mailbox, I started reading right away. I was very curious about Jennefer Mellink’s writing style, because I had never read one of her books before. I couldn’t wait to read another thriller.
The first few pages of this book make you very curious about the rest of the book. This makes you want to continue on reading. I found Jennefer Mellink’s writing style very hard to get used to. Each chapter was written from a different perspective, and at times this caused a lot of confusion for me.
While reading this book, almost every character in this book annoyed me. At one point I had a favourite, but then something happened that made me dislike that person. So I had to put the book away for a few days because I just wanted something positive to happen. I also thought the book got exciting very late. It only started to get exciting in the last 40 pages or so. In my opinion, this could have happened a little earlier.
The fun thing about thrillers is always guessing the culprit. When I was halfway through this book, I decided to bet on someone, and I turned out to be right! Somehow I always get this right when I read thrillers (I think this is because I read too much of them, haha). This book ends with an enormous plot twist that you don’t see coming at all – even I didn’t!
Conclusion
A thriller with a very unexpected ending. A must if you are also a fan of Mel Wallis de Vries and Chinouk Thijssen. Thanks again Luitingh-Sijthoff!
