Enjoyment - 4⭐️

  • I now understand what a beach read is.

  • A light and frothy read that was a breeze to get through.

  • I guess I’ve been lying to myself. I do enjoy thrillers, I just hadn’t found the right vein yet. I need them to be lighter. The dark and series ones can’t live up to my expectations. The key is that I can’t have any expectations.

  • I did guess the ending, but not some of the smaller twists. I wasn’t here for the twists, though. I was fine hanging out with the characters and setting.

  • The relationships were well developed. 

  • Loved the extended ending. 

  • I’m a sucker for movie sets, and this one delivered. 

  • Great writing. Elevated. Great analogies. Just enough description to paint a great scene. 

  • I had way too much fun reading this book

  • I would definitely read another thriller by Stratton.

  • Morally grey characters — greatly appreciated.

  • Somehow, I loved and hated the FMC. 

  • I can’t say that I could have done it better except that I’m not a thriller girly.

  • Rating my emotions is hard. The book wasn’t emotional for me, but it was extremely enjoyable. I’m going to say that emotions mean my overall feelings about reading the book.

  • The setting rating is due solely to the story being partly set on a movie set.

  • I can’t compare In Deadly Company to other thrillers, but in comparison to The Midnight Feast, I think it’s better from a character and writing perspective. The twists were better in The Midnight Feast.

  • Strong Knives Out vibes.

Happy Reading

Love,
