It was a good book. The beginning was intriguing and had me wanting to continue but it wasn’t a strong compulsion. It wasn’t until at least halfway through that I didn’t want to stop reading and wanted to know what we were going to find out next. And bonus, there are some good recommendations for books throughout.

I feel nothing and not in a good way. This was just really underwhelming.
Besides, it kept spoiling a bunch of mystery novels that I would've liked to read --> not fun

I was going to give this a three until the last 30 minutes of the book. The reveal wasn't super surprising but I liked the wrapping up of the loose ends at the end of the book.
