Once again Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers on a fast-paced mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. So many mysteries and twists woven into this 372 page book and while there were quite a few I guessed right, there were many that left me wanting to know more. It's been awhile since I turned pages that fast to get to the next little mystery, the next game. 

It isn't perfect by any means but it is fun and Barnes has a way of drawing in her audience, leaving them wanting more.

I liked the book but nothing more. I expected to be trying to guess things along the characters because of the clues but that wasn't the case. We see the characters discovering things in this imaginary house but we can't make any assumptions. That's unfortunate. Let's see what the next books hold.

Kinda your classic young adult novel with the quintessential love triangle and the much needed secret passages. I appreciated all of the puzzles in the book and I definitely want to know what happens next. Nothing special, but not bad by any means. 

Although I do appreciate Avery’s willingness to be more than just a piece to the puzzle.
