It was ok, wouldn’t read it again but it was a good book. The ending left me feeling like all I read wasn’t really worth it, it cleverly grips the reader to read the sequel. Would have rated it more if it wasn’t for the disappointing ending that didn’t really explain much.

I have been a huge fan of Teri Terry's books since I first read Slated a few years ago. This is my second read of this book in preparation for the sequel coming out shortly. 
I think Teri Terry has some fantastic ideas for her stories, the concepts and plots are always so intriguing for me. In my opinion, this wasn't the strongest of Terry's books but I do think it was a great set-up for the rest of the trilogy with some mysteries I definitely cannot wait to solve. This book was a bit slow in places, but overall it was a pretty quick read (I read it in about 3 days). I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.
