Finished 10:51pm 
 Review to come - Mediocre 'thriller' . Had a weird ending, some 'puzzles' were guessable; but I did like the writing and Anna. It was real easy to read and is, I guess, a book I'd recommend to those on a car trip (as I've been on the road for a couple of days and read it on the trip). It's just a light read. Nothing outstanding that really messes with your head. A strong 3.75 book haha. 
 Upadate: Nah, it's just a 2.5 star book 
 I don't read thrillers and when I do, they're really good. In the sense that they really mess with me. I second guess my second guesses. I even take 'breaks' to think about how sane I really am when I find out that I may have been rooting for the guilty party the whole time. These are the kind of thrillers I've read. With Malice however, was, mediocre. It was like the plain vanilla ice cream amongst the various other ice creams. But vanilla ice cream is good and so was With Malice. 
 I finished it quicker than expected. With Malice was a light read. I went in with no expectations because I've seen the title floating around. I didn't really want to read reviews of With Malice because it'd probably deny me the chance to form my own opinion and I'm glad I did. After finishing the book, I was really disappointed in the ending. With Malice had so much potential to really mess with my head like thrillers I've read before have done. I was really hoping for a sick revolting twist but it never came. The plot in my opinion was predictable. I already knew who Eileen was going to use as a "Shepard"* in the story. 
 However, the writing it great. I was drawn into the story, invested in how Jill's story would end. I loved the layout of the book. The interviews, the blog posts, the comments and the tv scripts were exciting to read. It was a great way to slowly uncover the truth or shall I say, the 'truth' we're made to believe. 
 With Malice's protagonist, Jill, is just an average character, I didn't feel a connection with her. I assumed what Simone was really like whilst reading the book and discovering that I was right wasn't that fulfilling. The predictability was annoying. I really expected something out of the box, but it never happened. 
 Anna was a character I really enjoyed even though she's briefly in the book with the Dr, who I also really enjoyed. These two characters were probably the number one reason why I wanted to finish the book. I needed to know what happened to them. Nico, Jill's love interest, wasn't that interesting. I didn't care much for his story.Overall, With Malice was an average book. Nothing special. But worth the read.
