Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of Zero Days by Ruth Ware in exchange for my honest review and opinion. This is one of the best ones Ruth Ware has written yet. This book is one where you finish it and say what the heck did I just read as your heart will be pounding out of your chest. Loved it and loved the ending.

So, so good!! Thos one had me hooked from page 1!! I couldn't put it down and there were times I was utterly heartbroken for the fmc for all she was going through. Ruth Ware is one of my favorites, and this one did not disappoint!! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchangenfor my honest review!

I’m pretty new to this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I liked how this started, a little fast-paced and that really perked up my curiosity.
However, it started to feel les believable as time went by.
I even started to predict some things that felt almost like a trope magnet at times.
I lost interest midway, but finished either way.
I will give this author another try, maybe this one was just not for me

DNF. Ask me five years ago and I would have said that Ruth Ware was an author I could consistently turn to for bangers, but recently, it's been more hits than misses. I love her Agatha Christie style thrillers with their twisty storylines, but alas, this was not that. I could not get through the boring convoluted plot to the true suspense underneath. It just seemed to drag on until I gave up about 60% in.

You can't go wrong with Ruth Ware. She is one of the only writers I'll allow to keep me up at night and this title did not disappoint. It was the perfect crime and I enjoyed every minute of watching Jack work her magic.

As much as I like Ware's books, they can't all be winners. Technically there's nothing wrong with Zero Days as a thriller, and the mystery of who killed Jack's husband, Gabe is fine, but it really bugged me that Jack was a smart, capable hacker who seemed not to know how to think her way into a plan to get herself out of the web someone set to frame her for Gabe's murder and also that Gabe kept showing up throughout when he was totally dead. I will still recommend this title to patrons who like Ware and locked-room mysteries, but will also be keeping my eye out for a new Ruth Ware title to make myself happy. Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the early access in exchange for my honest opinion.

An interesting novel from Ware. A couple who specializes in security find themselves wrapped up in a murder investigation. Not my fav by her but still fun!

I had tried to keep an open mindset before reading this book because I had heard so many great things about it and I agree. I absolutely loved this one. I've enjoyed many of her books and this one is a new favorite for me. I loved all the suspense from start to finish and the twists and turns.

'Zero Days' by Ruth Ware is fast paced well intentioned spy-style thriller. It was fun to go along on the adventure, but a bit of a departure from Ruth Ware's usual style so if you are not really into action/ adventure, spy and security tech it might get a little tedious in spots. But, if you do...you'll love it!

This was not exactly what I expected when I picked up a Ruth Ware book but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a captivating thriller that kept me guessing who was at fault and what was going to happen next throughout. At time, Ruth Ware books, while always entertaining and fun, can be easy to anticipate, but this one was not. It follows a wife as she's on the run after finding her husband murdered, kind of The Fugitive style but reversed, as she hunts for information to free her from suspicion and find his true killer.

Thank you to netgalley for providing an e-galley for review. Zero Days is a concept in computer security meaning that a vulnerability is found and hackers can use it to attack. Zero Days the book is about a husband and wife team, Jack and Gabe, that are penetration testers. One that tests the physical building, one that tests the technology. A job goes wrong, Gabe is found murdered and Jack is being set up for it. What can she do but clear her name and find out who murdered Gabe? But it goes so much deeper than she expects.

2.5 stars

The beginning grabbed my attention, but as soon as Jack went on the run, it lost my interest with the repetitive descriptions and actions. Too long, too slow, too repetitive.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Unfortunately I'm not sure I have much good feedback for this one. I loved Ruths books early in her career but they have changed so much I just don't think they're for me anymore. This felt more like a spy novel than a thriller and and I just didn't like nor could I connect with these dull characters.

I had a hard time keeping focus because I just didn't really feel like much happened and it was hard for me to like anyone in the story. And it was waaaaay too long.

It was a cool idea as a concept for plot, but way too dry and slow of execution. Typical phenomenal writing but just 'meh' as far as pace and ability to hold my attention.

I will definitely try her books again but I just hope her next one isn't as long and drawn out, a bit more suspenseful and fast paced, and goes back to her thriller vibes of the old days :)

Zero Days was a new take on a mystery. The plot of line was a new genre for me and I thoroughly enjoy the husband wife duo. While it grew predictable towards the end, it had me turn the pages eager to learn what happened next. Live Ruth Ware and this is one her best ones yet !

A bit more of a slow burn than Ware's usual, but with the same skillful characterizations, thoughtful plotting, and suspenseful tone. I've read all of Ware's books and she has yet to miss!

Kind of slow, took me forever to read. Not terrible, but not great either. The best aspects of this were the technical parts where she was excelling at her job. Most of the rest of it was only so-so.

I had a hard time finishing this one. I wanted to be engaged but it just felt choppy and drawn out. For a suspense thriller, I did not find myself engaged. Thanks Netgalley foe the ARC of this book.

This was not my favorite Ruth Ware book.. honestly, her books are getting worse and worse to me. Nothing will beat The Woman in Cabin 10 for me. I didnt really connect to the husband or wife, this felt more like a Harlan Coben mystery.

Ruth Ware is an automatic request for me, always. I went into this book with high expectations, because I've really enjoyed all of her past books. While I DID enjoy this one, it wasn't quite a five star read for me.

The story centers around Jack and her husband, Gabe, who work as penetration (or "pen") testers for companies to check their security systems - both physical and digital. When a pen test goes slightly sideways and Jack gets home much later than anticipated, she discovers that some has brutally murdered Gabe and left seemingly no trace. Due to her questionable (in the police's eyes at least) alibi, Jack is instantly a suspect in Gabe's murder.

I felt like the pace of this novel was similar to the last Ruth Ware outing, The It Girl. It was a slow start, and didn't really start rolling until about the 35-40% mark. Once Jack was solidly in her attempt to figure out who was being Gabe's murder, things really picked up. I will say, I called the twist pretty early, which was disappointing, but I still enjoyed watching it play out over the course of the rest of the book.

Overall, 4/5 stars!

Zero Days by Ruth Ware was very technical and difficult to understand that world of technology without having that background. It was hard to follow and figure out. Most of Ware's books have been a bummer lately, and this one was too. I'm about to give up on her altogether. It seems like she produces too many "thrillers" without a solid foundation just to put the books out to sell. Disappointed in this one.
