I decided to give this book a try, even though I'm not usually a fan of young adult mysteries. To my surprise, I found myself loving it because of its quick-paced story and short chapters. In the first half, not much happened—it felt like more of an introduction. But things picked up in the second half, turning into an exciting thriller that kept me hooked. I had a feeling about who the culprit might be early on, but the story kept me guessing until the end.
The characters were a highlight for me, though I had mixed feelings about Lia. She didn't bother me too much, but her lack of respect for privacy annoyed me a few times. Despite that, I could see there were layers to her character that added depth to the story. I didn't mind the love triangle subplot either. It felt natural and added a layer of tension without overwhelming the main plot.

It’s like an episode of Criminal Minds but teenagers

This was the first non-romance centered book I’ve read in a while. It was a fun read. It was giving mystery paperback, who-done-it vibes. Also kind of like a mix of Scooby Doo and the Umbrella Academy with the gaggle of teenagers solving crimes. It was entertaining enough to read as a standalone because I wasn’t dying to read the sequel. I put the next one on hold on Libby and I can just read when it’s ready without having the impulse to buy it immediately. Overall a fast, fun read. ✨
