I worked out what was going on quite early on but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. That being said I don't think any of the characters were likeable, well perhaps Toby 😹and although I liked the last big twist it felt rather rushed and a bit farfetched and all over the place. I would still say it was worth a read as I know some people will really enjoy this.

I was completely invested in how dark and mysterious this book was, but by the end, I was left confused. I don't want to give away any spoilers as to why, but it had me questioning everything. Overall though it was enjoyable, and I liked the different POVs.
