So good! I would definitely read this one before midnight feast, as I think some of the twists were more expected on my part after reading midnight feast. But amazing storytelling as always and so much drama!! Loved all the twists, some had me shocked to me core. Great ending :) love love love

an absolute page turner. i only ever put this book down when i was forced to! loved the first person voice from multiple characters. 

the pace was medium throughout, with the end resolution coming in waves rather than all in one bite. 

timeline was a bit difficult to follow in some instances, as each chapter is no longer than a few pages before the POV switches again.

This book had interesting perspectives through the characters. I liked that the chapters were short and the writing style flowed well through out the book, keep pushing me through the book. The mystery side of things I found a little predictable, but I think the author used that on purpose because while I did predict some things I didn't predict everything that happened in the climax. 

Has Salt Burn vibes

The amount of times I visibly gasped in excitement and disgust is great, with the twists that I half expected and didn't see coming at all. It's just brilliant. And the audiobook with the various of voice actors switching for each POV??? My god, chief's kiss.

Bury me with this book like how they buried that body.
