This was an interesting mystery that I’ve had on my shelf for a while. The first half I struggled to get invested in it as I started to understand more of what was happening like the main character, but by the halfway point I was much more invested. It was a really interesting take on a murder mystery and it was cool to see the different changes that happened with the MC.

The Pros: the writing style is very simple to read, the book is set at an /almost/ dilapidated 1920’s mansion, the murder mystery ground hogs day plot line was incredibly intriguing and kept me going for 75% of the book. I didn’t see the final twist right at the end and it fascinated and annoyed me at the same time. 

The Cons: You don’t actually get to solving the mystery and putting in all the pieces together until you’re 75% into the book. It’s too dang long. You get to host 4 or 5 and then flip into someone else on the same day and it just got really old especially when those hosts didn’t find out anything. I predicted one of the plot twists. I felt like the end was rushed and if we didn’t spend so much time stumbling along with a few hosts, it didn’t have to be rushed.

holy. this novel was seriously a wild ride. i was not expecting the amount of turns this would take and the reveals just kept getting better in every chapter. i could NOT put this book down—literally kept thinking about what was happening next. this felt like a mashup of a black mirror episode and shutter island and knives out. so much was happening—and some really scary parts too—which just added even more to the thrill. i will say that im a bit disappointed about the ending because i think there could have been more to really give it a satisfactory conclusion, but aside from that, i seriously loved this book so much. 4/5 stars!

sadly i felt like this didnt hit as hard with the reread. its still a really cool book and very interesting twists. i just saw more holes this time when i read. i also think there was almost too many mysteries and murders that it stopped having the shock factor at a certain point
