Huge plot twists, definitely one that keeps you on your toes. If you think it's one person, it's more than likely not them. Definitely a re-read, a great murder mystery!

Enjoyable plot. I’d figured out the killer early on due to conventional techniques used but there were a few times where it made me doubt. Well written and Luke was an enjoyable narrator. His past added a nice explanation for his abilities which doesn’t always happen.

Quick easy YA murder mystery, I enjoyed the setting at the prep school I feel like it made it a little bit more ominous feeling. It has a lot of twists and turns and really had me playing along trying to guess who did it.

This is a good book to read to get out of a book slump. Its intriguing from the very beginning. However I do feel as if the ending of the book was a little rushed. < spoiler : I wish the author would’ve have included Oscar more in the ending >

I was right! It definitely wasn’t obvious, but if you looked hard enough you could figure it out. Granted, I wasn’t 100 percent sure, but still. Loved the touch of romance too.
