Thrilling and addictive, this book had me hooked from the first page. The writing was quick and mysterious, always making me beg for more to be revealed. I found the beginning to be kind of slow and the end to be wrapped up too quickly, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Come for the intense sisterly conflict, stay for the in-depth investigations of an accomplice’s psyche.
