The BRAND NEW pulse-pounding cat & mouse thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Gemma Rogers
How can one 12-hour night shift be so deadly?
I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me.
The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me.
But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase.
My immediate instincts told me something was wrong.
That’s when my ordeal began.
I just had to make it through the night shift.
A pacy, heart stopping, page turning thriller for the fans of Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
Nina is on a night shift at the warehouse Storage Queen. It’s Friday Night and Nina assumed that the work will be slow so she could peacefully study for her university exams. But then her night eventually becomes a nightmare when a man comes into the storage unit carrying a suitcase.
This was a fast paced thriller. The first few parts of the story was great–it was intriguing, intense and with Nina’s diabetic condition seems to make the thriller more interesting. However, starting from the middle and towards the end, the story kind of started to get little boring in my opinion. However, you feel like you are watching a horror action packed thriller movie on the TV when you are actually reading this book. The writing was great however and I like how the author managed to keep the reader at the edge with one Nina is going through.
This has great premise in my opinion. However, the execution wasn’t so great to this overall great plot and story making the story a bit more unrealistic. Overall, this was a good thriller and worth 3.5 stars.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Boldwoods for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
