My Thoughts
Chilling and utterly compelling.
The Conductor was a truly disturbed individual, a madman who blackmails others into doing reprehensible things in a sick game he calls “the string”. It took me a few chapters to really get into, but it wasn't long before I was sailing through the pages, completely sucked in, and not wanting to put it down.
My heart was constantly racing and my anxiety was high. Time moved by without me noticing and there came a point where I couldn't stop for anything. I simply had to ignore “real life” things in order to finish this pulse-pounding read.
The String was an unpredictable and masterful thriller from author Caleb Breakey. It'll make the reader ponder what they'd do if they were put into a situation like this. I highly recommend it and can't wait to see what comes next!
