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.

If this wasn’t a book club book it would’ve been a DNF. The writing made me feel like and English teacher grading papers. Confusing writing/plot line, I still don’t quite understand if Sherlock and Watson are real people or fiction or both?? Or if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle exists in this world??? Narrator Jamie pissed me off from the beginning, just annoying. Not enough Lena content, loved her. Pages like I think 200ish-270ish were entertaining to me, everything else was kinda meh.
