This books was everything I wanted it to be and more. If you are a fan of Sherlock x Watson this book is for you. There is a lot of dark themes in this book so make sure to check the content warnings before diving in. 

I found the characters so loveable and I felt really immersed in the story. I am so glad that it is a series and will continue to read it.

2.0

I recommend this book if you like:

-YA college/uni

-Sherlock Holmes stories and similar vibes

-no romance

I have wanted to read this book for about 3 years. I definitely would have preferred if the book had a romantic element. The mystery was good but I couldn't warm to Charlotte and her emo, druggie demeanour. The story was a bit complex and left chunks of information out. When the mystery was revealed it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

The murderer was the school nurse who was a fiance to the guy Charlotte had got in to trouble. The fiance thinks he's dead but he isn't.

I read this book in a day, and I’m a very slow reader. I’m a huge Sherlock fan and I’m very nitpicky about recreations and reimaginings but I loved this one so so so much. 

ALSO HOLMES AND WATSON ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER IM MELTING IT’S SO CUTE <spoiler/>
