what a story omg this book goes from plot twist to plot twist and it’s like we, readers, become part of the game and we try to resolve it with the characters 
and the foreshadow of the end!!!
i need the second book like right now i need to know what happens next

I really enjoyed this book. The puzzles, the mystery, the hints of a love triangle between Avery, Grayson, and Jameson. This reminds me of the Westing Game. There are some riddles that aren't solved by the end of the book, and some that are solved but not satisfactory. But overall enjoyable and can't wait for the sequel.
