Bad Blood: the biggest debut of 2025 - an explosive psychological crime thriller with a triple twist by Sarah Hornsley, Sarah Hornsley
2.5
Personally, I found it tedious. The first half was good, but other than wanting to know the exact conclusion, I felt like there was nothing compelling me to finish it. I didn’t particularly care what happened to the characters and I felt like it just fell through, a little bit. I’ve read a lot of good thrillers and maybe it just simply doesn’t compare to those. The writing itself was good and the concept is pretty good - although that itself disappears pretty quick.
