This was interesting. I was really intrigued to see we’re this would go and what actually happened. My favorite part was seeing how all the different characters and their motives differed from what you thought previously from another point of view. I do have to say though that most of the reasons things happened honestly was stupid and didn’t even make sense to me(like it did, but I don’t think any of it works, but then again they are psychopaths). I think this is worth picking up, but to me nothing shocked me and it was a little repetitive at times which I personally didn’t mind.

The shock from how the first chapter ended was really something. 

The ending was concluded well in my opinion.

Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold. This was a dark story but I had to see it to the end. It brings up a lot of philosophical questions and lots of suspense. An enjoyable read if you have the stomach for it. I haven’t dissected a book this hard since leaving college.
