Fifty-Fifty will keep you on your toes with relentless twists and unusual turns. Fifty-Fifty has a truly gripping plot. I raced through the pages as if there were no tomorrow; I was hooked. Alexandra and Sofia Avellino discovered their father’s mutilated body. Naturally, 911 is called, but by both sisters, minutes apart, blaming each other for the brutal death of their father. The situation turns into a thrilling, high-stakes courtroom drama where both lawyer truly believes their client is innocent. This book had all the elements I love in a thriller: suspense, tension, conflict, shock and plot twists. Overall, I enjoyed the story. I thought the characters were strong, unique, likeable, and intelligent, which made me eager to follow the story and see how the characters progressed. The characters were one of the reasons I enjoyed this story as much as I did, especially Kate. Her character had a lot of growth. Honestly, she was an inspiring character. She had a lot to lose but wasn’t letting anybody get in the way. Again, the characters were all wonderfully written. They had a lot of depth. They were met with a lot of challenges, and it was interesting to see how the characters met the challenges and overcame them. It made for a compelling story. I love a good plot twist, and Steve Cavanagh gave what every thriller fanatic loves: some good plot twists. However, the main plot twist was too predictable. I saw it coming from the start. I do read a lot of thrillers, though, so what’s obvious to me might not be obvious to someone else, especially someone who doesn’t read a lot of thrillers. That said, it was a good twist; I’m not saying it wasn’t; there is a lot of shock value to the twist; I knew what would happen. Did that take away from the excitement of it all, a little, but the other elements of this story were strong; they kept me hooked. I may have predicted the ending quickly, but other shocking moments throughout the story had me grasping at the next chapter. Thank you Netgalley, and Steve Cavanagh!

Deze zat echt heel goed in elkaar, al vond ik het einde toch net iets te voor de hand liggend. Ik vind het alleen wel heel jammer dat Harper dood is.
