So good! I would definitely read this one before midnight feast, as I think some of the twists were more expected on my part after reading midnight feast. But amazing storytelling as always and so much drama!! Loved all the twists, some had me shocked to me core. Great ending :) love love love

4.0

This book had interesting perspectives through the characters. I liked that the chapters were short and the writing style flowed well through out the book, keep pushing me through the book. The mystery side of things I found a little predictable, but I think the author used that on purpose because while I did predict some things I didn't predict everything that happened in the climax. 

Has Salt Burn vibes

It’s honestly a great story, but it has an extremely slow beginning in my opinion. It took at least ten chapters for me to stop falling asleep in the midst of reading.
