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

4.0

This is the best thriller that I have read in a while. Using a severely unreliable narrator was a great way for the author to conceal the plot twists, and there were a lot. There were some very dark themes in this book, but I liked the cyclical aspect and how everything truly connected. It was intense and crazy.
