what a story omg this book goes from plot twist to plot twist and it’s like we, readers, become part of the game and we try to resolve it with the characters 
and the foreshadow of the end!!!
i need the second book like right now i need to know what happens next

Read in a day, roughly 10hrs, (a new record for me, with a first time read). This book is super entertaining and a fast read, I read it In pretty much 3 sittings. All the chapters follow on like a movie there’s really no page you can put the book down on. The characters are extremely loveable and the plot intriguing

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.

4.5

Nice mystery / escape room style read. Short chapters worked well and kept the pace of the book nice and quick. I have to say I did work out a key part of the plot really early on but it didn't take away any of the enjoyment.

I would have enjoyed learning a bit more about the Hawthorn brothers as it feels like they all have interesting stories behind them. I also felt some parts of the story were kind of brushed over / rushed past when I had hoped for a bit more info.

Overall really enjoyable read and looking forward to picking up the next in the series.
