When I see "Ruth Ware" on a book, I'm buying it! I have loved all of her books and find them very sit on the edge of my seat reading. Zero Days was a bit different than her regular fare. I found it interesting in that I learned about a field of employment I didn't know existed. It was a solid story with an exciting climax and of course, since Ruth wrote it, I recommend you read it, especially if you are a fan. If she is a new author to you, even though this is a stand alone novel, I might suggest reading one of her other novels first.

This review is certainly overdue and is unfortunately a DNF for me.

I really wanted to like it but I could get past the beginning and had a hard time with some of the language used and the really descriptive scenes when they’re doing their jobs.

While I love Ware’s books this just didn’t feel like it was for me and I didn’t think spending more time would change that.

Ruth Ware proceeds to amaze me, I haven't read a thriller from her that I thought was overdone or not good, or not thrilling. But Zero Days was a new kind of thrill. I felt like I was on the run with Jack the entire time, and even at some point I could feel my heart racing—like I was about to get caught too. The emotion I could feel through Jack, mostly the grief, throughout the entire story impacted me too.

There were a couple moments in the book that were a bit slow, and it definitely started a bit slow too. There were also a few moments that were a bit too convenient, but all in all it was a good read.

I was fascinated by the plot—what Jack and her husband did for a living, and LOVED how it tied into everything Jack did later. I felt like there were no holes or issues.

I’m a big Ruth Ware fan and have read all of her work, but this one unfortunately is probably my least favorite. It had high potential but it was just too different from her normal storylines. It was good in its own way but it honestly could have been 100 pages shorter and I may have enjoyed it more because the pacing would have been faster. This was very drawn out and slow in a lot of areas which took away from the overall suspense of the story.

Oh she does it again with her twist and turns I never see the ending!! I love how she describes the characters and the story must read

Zero days is about a husband and wife duo who work as cyber and physical security together. They’re finishing up a job when “Jack” calls to tell him to order food she’s on her way home. She gets home to find him brutally murdered. She’s baffled and says as much to the police, but then she sees there was a life insurance policy opened on Gabe and now she has a motive. She makes a run from the police to track down the real killer. Honestly this book was boring. Just not enough action to keep my attention. It started out fast paced and quickly simmered out. I think I just don’t care for Ruth wares writing.

Thanks to netgalley and publisher for advanced reader copy

Ruth Ware strikes again, but this time, she adds in a dose of high tech fun. This book is wonderful for anyone who enjoys suspense, mystery, and fun twists and turns.

This was a boring read that I struggled through. Not really much else to say about it. I have read previous books by Ruth Ware and some have been great, some so-so. This one is a so-so one for me.

Loved this one! What a unique and interesting premise! While the main plot point was sad and had me wishing there was some way he could still be alive the book had me sticking with it and unable to predict any of the twists

Not my favorite of Ruth Ware's but still one I think patrons will enjoy. A thrilling, action-packed book that had me guessing.

This is the first Ruth Ware book I couldn’t finish.. I wanted to like the book but the topic wasn’t interesting to me and is more of an action suspense book.

Zero Days by Ruth Ware is a gripping psychological thriller that weaves a web of suspense, secrets, and unexpected twists. Ware's masterful storytelling keeps you on the edge, making it a must-read for fans of intense mysteries.

This is my current favorite out of Ruth Ware's books. The story moves fast - I was able to read it on a flight home from west coast to east coast. Original storyline, which I so appreciate nowadays when everything seems recycled or redone.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of Zero Days by Ruth Ware. Ruth Ware is the queen of suspense and this one did not disappoint.

Zero Days was an unexpected thriller that is different than many, making it unique and a nonstop read. Main character Jacintha "Jack" Cross enters an office block after hours, evading security cameras and accessing a company's server room through the ceiling cavity. Just as she's plugged in two USB devices, her husband Gabriel "Gabe" Medway warns her through an earpiece that building security are aware of the break-in and are rapidly approaching... this book is adrenaline packed, fast paced and thrilling!
Ruth Ware never disappoints. You will not want to put this book down and will keep you guessing!

Thank you so much for the ARC! I think Ruth Ware is an incredibly talented writer and story teller. She has a particular voice that comes through in all of her novels, and it's easy to tell when your reading one of her books.

Zero Days hooked me in right at the beginning and took me on a JOURNEY.
I felt anxious for 90% of this book.
The husband and wife duo were great!
I do feel like this particular book was lacking just a little bit of spark but overall it was enjoyable and I would recommend it to those readers who are newer to the thriller genre.

I always have mixed feelings about Ruth Ware--I either love it or hate it, but this one is a solid three stars for me. The intro scene almost lost me with a very "Mission Impossible" scenario, but I'm glad I kept reading. Jack and her husband Gabe are pen testers, basically professional hackers that try to get past the security of businesses to find the gaps that need fixing. The action starts quickly as Jack finishes a job and comes home to find Gabe brutally murdered in their home. When the cops seem to think she has something to do with it, she goes on the run, and is basically running the rest of the book. The resolution was not earth shattering, but I do find Jack to be a memorable character and her story has stuck with me more than some others I've read lately.

***Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for early access to this book.***

Jack and her husband Gabe are paid to break into buildings and test security systems. When a job goes wrong, Jack finally arrives home to the worst possible outcome. Now a suspect in the eyes of the law, Jack has no choice but to try and clear her name before getting arrested. The problem is, who can Jack trust with her life?

As a big fan of mystery thrillers, I had high hopes for Zero Days. The book definitely read like a big action movie, with all of the usual elements. The problem was in the details, as it was not very realistic by any stretch of the imagination. The plot points were there to move the story along, gave it big ups and downs, and provided Jack with places to go and people to see. Overall, I found it hard to believe that Jack could take the beating that she did and still get up for more. Zero Days was the type of book that readers needed to put on their blinders to realism and suspend belief for a while.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this book was entirely my own.

While I normally love Ruth Ware books, I wasn't really into the plot of this one. I was expecting more of a psychological thriller and instead it felt too much like it was trying to be a spy thriller. I admit, I did not finish the book and could not get into the story.
