Catherine Steadman has done it again! Nine Lives<\/em> is one of those psychological thrillers that slowly gets under your skin. At first, you\u2019re happily following along, and then suddenly it\u2019s way past your bedtime because you have<\/em> to know how everything is going to come together.<\/p>\n

There are quite a few characters introduced throughout the story, but I never felt overwhelmed. It quickly becomes clear which ones are most important, making it easy enough to keep track of everyone.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite parts of the book was the premise of the cat camera. It\u2019s such a bizarre and clever idea! I couldn\u2019t stop thinking, \u201cWhy are these people letting a random cat wander into their homes?\u201d (Maybe that\u2019s just my cat allergy talking!) It was such a unique way to uncover secrets and kept me hooked from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

I also loved how the story alternates between the past and the present. Watching the events unfold from their origins while seeing the present-day consequences added so much tension and kept the suspense building. Every chapter revealed another piece of the puzzle, making it nearly impossible to put down.<\/p>\n

And that ending! I had to laugh at the way everything wrapped up, especially with the return of a character who hadn\u2019t seemed particularly important but ended up being the perfect catalyst for the final reveal. It was such a smart and satisfying way to tie everything together.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a psychological thriller with a unique premise, plenty of suspense, and twists that keep you turning the pages, Nine Lives<\/em> is a clever and thoroughly entertaining read.<\/p>\n

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine | Bantam for this thrilling eARC.<\/p>\n
