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 liked the book but nothing more. I expected to be trying to guess things along the characters because of the clues but that wasn't the case. We see the characters discovering things in this imaginary house but we can't make any assumptions. That's unfortunate. Let's see what the next books hold.

Amazing! Read this for the weekly book club and it was so hard not to keep reading it. Characters are all really interesting, the plot is great. I cannot recommend enough and can't wait for the next few books!

It was good! A little on the nose sometimes? And I’ll be frl I’m not the biggest fan of the romance element? But big fan of Mr. Hawthorne!! ( also Alexander and Nash kind of slay in their own way Tbf )

What a good way to get out of a reading slump! I read this entire book while on a flight to Chicago so I feel a little more accomplished than I would had I finished it on any other old day. It’s not a sad book but even the slightest mention of loss had me holding back tears in my seat. I miss Katarina and goddamnit I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of losing her.  I know this review is lazy but I’m in a rush exiting the terminal.

I really liked how enticing this books was and all the relationship each character had with each other. There were lots of plot holes somewhat filled and plot twists (though I thought some of them were obvious). Though I think this book is good for and set as more for Middle Schoolers, the only thing I would acknowledge as the huge role romance takes place and affects the plot.
