Ware has a beautiful mind, and her mystery stories are always tip notch. This one was no different. 5 stars!

Zero Days follows "Pen tester" Jack, who along with her husband are paid to test the security systems on various businesses in England. However, one night after a job, Jack comes home to find her husband Gabe murdered at her computer and quickly becomes the primary suspect. What follows is a quick paced mystery thriller as Jack tries to find the truth behind who murdered her husband while being on the run from the same police who suspect her. Zero Days' story unfolds at a frantic pace and keeps the excitement high throughout. While I thought the writing and plot was gripping, the story did feel somewhat predictable and the ending felt underwhelming when compared to what happened before. Overall, I would recommend Zero Days to fans of thrillers and mysteries.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy.

I love Ruth Ware books, and this one was no exception. Jack and her husband Gabe are contracted workers to try to hack into places to test the security. When Gabe is murderer, Jack must go on a quest to try to figure out who did it and to get justice for him however she can. I give it 4 stars because it was really engaging and I wanted to see how the story was going to end.

I had high hopes for Zero Days, but unfortunate it was just okay for me. Over the years, Ruth Ware has definitely become a hit or miss author for me, but I continue to get so excited for each of her new releases.

Another home run for Ruth Ware. As always, she's crafted a taut, psychological thriller featuring a brave woman on her own against mysterious and overwhelming odds. While Ware's formula is fairly easy to predict, the twists and turns of the novel are always exciting and fresh. Fans of Ware will love this one but it's also a good entry point for people who have not read her work before.

I am a Ruth Ware fan but this book was not good. I didn't find the plot entertaining or enjoyable, and there are some truly ridiculous leaps made.

This was probably one of my favorite Ruth Ware books so far, until the end. I loved the pacing, the storyline and the suspense. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending, it was still an enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for the ARC!

“Hired by companies to break into buildings and hack security systems, Jack and her husband, Gabe, are the best penetration specialists in the business. But after a routine assignment goes horribly wrong, Jack arrives home to find her husband dead. To add to her horror, the police are closing in on their suspect—her.”

The Queen of Thrillers is back with another great book! This book kept my interest throughout and definitely had some good twists and turns.

This was only alright to me. I just think Ruth Ware can be long winded occasionally which doesn't link to a good mystery in my opinion.

Ware is back with a page-turning thriller that keeps you guessing. I loved the premise of the story and the protagonist; no damsel in distress here -- she's smart, resourceful, and determined.

You don't need to know much about high tech security to understand what's going on in this technological thriller. It reads more like an action film with the "chase" scene starting from the very beginning. Our MC goes on the run from the police determined to solve her husband's murder right from the beginning, and doesn't stop until the very end. Rather unrealistic, you'll have to suspend all of your disbelief.

I guessed the perp at the half-way mark, and it was so obvious (mainly due to the lack of developed characters) that I thought it had to be a red herring. Sadly, it was not and the thrill of figuring out the mystery wasn't there with this latest book from Ware.

I also could have done without the repeated, graphic descriptions of the murder victims body.

The ending was infuriating for me.

Zero days is a thriller in which a woman’s husband is brutally killed leaving her to find the clues and solve the mystery to why he was killed. Full of twist and turns.

Ruth Ware has done it again! Zero Days was an engrossing mystery that I could not put down! From the first chapter I was hooked and this fast paced mystery did not disappoint! I loved all the tech parts and even learned a few things!

Zero Days by Rth Ware delves into the world of hacking and online crimes. Married couple, Jack and Gabe, are hired by businesses to test their security systems. Companies then use their feedback to strengthen their operations. After a successful night of penetrating a business, Jack arrives home to find her husband no longer alive. She has no idea what's happening but soon realizes she will have to run in order to save her own self. She then begins a cat-and-mouse game with not only the police but also the perpetrators of the crime against her husband. Lots of action and secret unraveling keep this book moving right along. Read and enjoy!

Ruth Ware’s books are so good it makes me want to cry. Her books are like an addicting good piece of cake and you just keep wanting more. You can’t STOP wanting more but you need it, you feel it deeply, you want more information, more clues, and you want it now. She only gives you tiny morsels though. But the crumbs are so delicious you’re willing to sacrifice sleep, family time, anything just so you can finally get that big slice of cake.

This book was no exception. It was gritty and felt like a spy thriller throughout. The beginning few chapters will hook you and next thing you know you’re along for the wild ride. Her writing is masterful the way she paces each chapter through a design of dialogue and narration. Intense scenes will have you reading faster and you can feel your heart rate elevate, slow creeping chapters will have you waiting for the other shoe to drop and have you feeling anxious.

This book went a little more towards tech and spy-based thrill than Ruth Ware has done in the past but she did a fantastic job (of course). This book gives this underlying feeling of espionage the whole time that makes you want to know if the feeling is just a feeling or if you’re on the right track.

Another wonderful read by Ruth Ware. I would consider myself a huge fan of anything Ruth Ware. This particular read was somewhat different from her other books. I really enjoyed the content, the characters, the complexity of the story, and the story development. I didn't feel it was easy to predict what was going to happen next in the story. I read the entire book in only two days. I would highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys Ruth Ware. This release is a true thriller.

I have read all of Ruth Ware. I enjoy most of her books- some more hit or miss than others. I wouldn't consider this one my favorite, but it was a fun wild ride. Ware usually writes slow burner stories that have complex storylines. This basically had one storyline from one character's POV without much complexity. We actually never learn who the killer is at the end and the author emphasizes that the WHO isn't important but the WHY. You have to suspend your belief a bit with the why, but we do get a conclusion. Just not as satisfying as past Ware novels. I overall recommend the book- it is fast paced and you can fly through it. Just know going in that it differs from her normal style of writing.

I am a huge Ruth Ware fan and have read every single one of her books. I was so excited and fortunate enough to receive an ARC of Zero Days. I couldn’t wait to dive in! While it had the normal twists and turns from Ware’s previous writings this book left me with wanting more. Still a great read that I will recommend to others!

“The only thing they’re lacking is a motive. Don’t give them one.”

“Because what does love need, except someone to love back?”

Woah. I FLEW through this book. It has been a minute since I have read a book that was that fast paced and that anxiety inducing. What a fabulous and realistic story! I recommend going in blind because I did and it made each twist all the more surprising.

Ruth Ware is an auto-buy author for me and this book just reinforces why. This book was written so well I could swear I just watched a movie. What a ride!

Thank you to Netgalley, Scout Press Books, Gallery Books, and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lately I have been kind of let down by her books. The IT girl felt too predictable for me. This was the same. I have just felt mediocre about them. The woman in cabin 10 is one of my favorite books. Maybe it's just something that cannot be replicated. i will still keep reading her books and hoping for another woman in cabin feeling.
