This book wasn't for me. I don't like thrillers usually but I read this one as part of a genre challenge. I didn't see the humor in any of it.

One good thing I can say is that it's very easy to read, I finished it in a day.

Thrilling and addictive, this book had me hooked from the first page. The writing was quick and mysterious, always making me beg for more to be revealed. I found the beginning to be kind of slow and the end to be wrapped up too quickly, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Come for the intense sisterly conflict, stay for the in-depth investigations of an accomplice’s psyche.
