Holy cannoli Batman, what an unexpected adventure Passerby was!

This was my first book by Britney King, but will definitely not be my last. If you are looking for a thriller with a solid plot that will hook you in from the get go, look no further! Passerby is full of unexpected twists and turns, has tons of intrigue and deception, and murder—can’t forget about that!

I am always excited for a new [a:Britney King|7035217|Britney King|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1484753693p2/7035217.jpg] novel, and she really outdid herself with [b:Passerby|57723829|Passerby|Britney King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1621874720l/57723829._SX50_.jpg|90411418]. This was a wild ride as all of her books are, but her writing feels very polished and it felt totally different from her other work. I loved the setting of Magnolia House and could really relate to the small-town feel of Jester Falls where everyone knows everything about everyone. Almost the whole book is told from the viewpoint of Ruth which I really liked, and I could practically feel all of her frustrations coming off the page. She is already struggling with things in her own life when Ashley shows up and having her there added even more tension to the story, plus put a lot more pressure on Ruth. I enjoyed Ruth's character quite a bit, and for me, she was pretty dang relatable.

Passerby is incredibly addicting and it was very hard to put down to go to bed. I read it in about 2 sittings although I would have preferred to in 1 since I had to know what would happen. The end TOTALLY SHOOK ME, and I still can't get over how twisty it ended up being. I thought I had everything figured out and I was completely wrong, which if you're like me, is a huge bonus. This is one of those books where you finish and want to talk about it because it is so good and so crazy. I have loved all of King's books I have read, and this wasn't an exception. If you can suspend some disbelief, then you must check out this author's books. I am a very loyal fan of hers and this was another winner that I won't be forgetting anytime soon!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My Thoughts: Britney did it again! This one was another wild ride, a fast read that will keep you engaged and wanting more. I have loved all of her books so far and look forward every time i see a new one coming out! Pick this ne up, you wont regret it. Thank you to WildFire Marketing Solutions and Britney King for the review copy! 4 of 5 stars!

I would give this 3.5 stars. It could be a 4 star, but for me this book was a bit slow to start. It didn't really grab me and suck me in. I had a hard time focusing on it. Now I don't know that it was necessarily the book that was the issue or just all the stress in my life at the time I read it. About halfway through it felt liked it picked up a bit for me though. By the end I was fully engaged, and shocked by the outcome. You will never suspect who the Passerby really is.

This book had me questioning everything about Ruth & who Passerby was. Turns out I was wrong lol and I loved that about this book.

It combined murder, mystery, sibling dysfunction, and a little bit of mind-fuckery. It was a rollercoaster of a ride. And just when you think its over, you may be going on a second lap.
