The tension build up was amazing. This was the kind of book that I think about even when I’m not reading it. However the ending felt very unsatisfying. MAJOR spoilers:

bea’s whole involvement didn’t make sense. i get she felt trapped but i don’t think it would have gone that way and it felt very pointless.
