dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This is the craziest, most original book I've ever read. All these twists and turns got me shook. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that it felt a bit unrealistic/too much at times. I'll think about this book for a while and recommend it to everyone.
