This novel is fast paced, intense, a mental gymnastics that will have you guessing till the end. Lisa Unger is a master suspense story teller that brings to life her stories. I haven’t read a book by her in almost ten years, but I’m so glad I got asked to review this novel. It has renewed how much I enjoy her novels.
I received a complimentary ARC copy of Under My Skin by Lisa Unger care of TLC Book Tours from Park Row Books. The opinions expressed in this review are strictly mine. Connect with Lisa via her website and buy a copy.
