You’re neutral then you like then you hate then you understand then you like a lot of these characters which is a very fun way to experience them.

There is some similar themes to The Hunting Party: it is set in one main location (the apartment building) with a closed circle of characters but for me, the execution was not quite there.
The book started off really good with an intriguing mystery and interesting characters but, as the plot progressed, a lack of events made the book drag which wasn’t helped by the constant switching of characters every chapter (I particularly lost interest in Jess, which is not helped by the fact that she is the main character).
The ending helped to redeem the rating of this book somewhat as I liked the twists
However there was a lack of clear resolution at the end as well
I will still be reading The Guest List and The Midnight Feast at some point after a long break but I would still recommend trying this book out as you may love it.
Moderate: Death, Sexual assault, and Blood
Minor: Sexual content

I’m a fan of Foley’s work, and I’d say this is one of her best. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a thrilling mystery.
