I love these kinds of books. So much tension and drama and nothing is as it seems. Some parts of the mystery i predicted but most of it I did not! I love that I could not put it down. I need to read the next in the series!

I needed a good brain rot book I could binge and this HIT. I didn’t see the twists coming. I devoured it. it read so easily. it satisfied exactly what I needed it to be. will I ever think about it again? probably not. but it’s well written and a good time so 5 stars
