5.0

I LOVED this book ! I truly loved everything, the characters, the plot, even the dead characters. Everything was well thought and written, behind these puzzles and riddles, we must have a brilliant author. Jennifer Lynn Barnes knows how to tell a story without any boring moment, how to get you involved in every passage. We're thrilling to know what's coming next. Always new plots popping up.
I rarely give 5 stars to a book, guess I can make an exception when it is indeed exceptional.
I will definitely read the series and I highly recommend this book to any person who likes a good brain-teaser.
