This was entertaining, but I’ll never think of it again. It had a lot of reveals throughout which I didn’t see coming and I wanted to know what happened. As for who did it,it didn’t shock me. This was fine, if you like this author or if this sounds good pick it up, but if not your not missing anything amazing in my opinion.

4.25

I would give this book like a 4.25 stars! I really really enjoyed it, and I felt like it was super well written, and kept me mostly guessing until the end! I thought I had figured it out and then I question to myself, and then I was right originally, but it was that doubt that made me really like this book, the only thing I did not love, was how much cursing there was.
