I thought this was just going to be an easy peasy young adult read for my holiday... but boy was I wrong. The suspense really hooked me and it was way more intense than I thought it would be! Glad I read it, it turned out to be smart, scary, and almost fully believable.

Just when you think you’ve got it solved, scratch it out and realize youve got it all wrong. This was so well written! I tried to come to my own conclusions and making my own suspect list alongside Pips and I still got the ending wrong! I found myself stuck to this book

This was incredible. I don't often read thrillers, but this drew me in and would not let go. I stayed up until 3am to finish it.

I first watched the TV show (which spurred me to then read the book) and this was no disappointment! I liked it a lot and I enjoyed the notable differences and added depth that came with the book!
