Masterfully written. I couldn’t put the book down! I loved all of the main characters but was a bit conflicted by the character Ate though that may be due to Jane’s POV and her suspicions about her cousin.

3.0

The blurb gave the whole plot away, which was really frustrating. I found myself waiting for key parts of the blurb to happen (even up to the last page ugh). I think this book was better than I had anticipated based on some other reviews; however, the end and the unfortunate way that the blurb gave so much away really made it a meh book for me.
