4.0
I enjoyed this book a lot!
I love thrillers but there aren't many great YA thrillers I've read in a long time. This book delivered.
It's full of suspense, mystery and excitement. It keeps you invested in the story at all times and I was glued to my book until I devoured it.

⚠️NOT SPOILER FREE⚠️
I truly had a great time listening to this. Originally, I was going to rate this higher, but the ending just wasn’t for me. I get why the author picked it, but I would have liked to see the MC with another character instead.
However, there were a lot of things that this book did right. It was YA without being too whiny and it was just a great murder mystery. The plot does give of slight tiktok POV vibes, but it was done extremely well. The twists were also fun.

I did want her to end up with Javier though. Eric and Sigmal (I listened to the book, so I have no idea how to spell her name) should have just stayed friendsbrittradomski's review against another edition

This is what I mean when I say I like YA. Campy teen drama and horror is so fun and should be every book I think.
