Many twists and turns which kept me in suspense.  The audiobook is narrated by different people for each character which enhances the experience

3.0

despite it being medium-paced overall, I found it hard to binge read it because the perspective kept jumping between 6 people. I liked the twist at the end, I didn't see that coming, but then there were 20 pages of it being spoon-fed to me which just felt redundant and took away from the shock factor of said twist. It would've easily been a 3.5 or even a 4 star book if it was 20 pages shorter imo
