I haven’t given a 5 star review in a hot minute, but if there’s one book that deserves it, it’s this one. This isn’t exactly an advanced literature wonder, but for its genre (young adult mystery), it is PHENOMENAL. I read this whole book in one sitting. The plot line, character, mystery, background, plot TWISTS

I GUESSED EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR AGENT LACEY LOCKE!!

and more are amazingly executed. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretty mid, but works as a refreshing change of pace from all the big fantasy books I've been reading.

Unfortunately, suffers from teenage angst and predictable plot.

I really liked this book. As far as mysteries go, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and I had multiple theories about everything. So that aspect was super fun and engaging. 
What I didn’t love was some of the relationships.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes did this in inheritance games where it’s two guys and the girl has to choose. And I honestly hate it. I also dislike one of the guys and I’m just super hoping that she doesn’t end up with him because that would suck.
The ending was also a little too narrative for my liking. It is those two reasons that the book is not a five star read.
