I was enjoying this book up until the ending I really didn’t like where it went. I feel like there were a lot of other better options. 

The dog did not need to die, and so carelessly!

This book is amazing. I love the pacing of it and obviously the mystery. It was a good mix of twists and turns and actual discoveries. It also leaves some loose threads in what the MC found that I hope is tied off in the next books. It was really good overall and definitely deserves the hype.

This was a fast-paced, fun one and I can't wait to continue with the series and check out the first season of the show on Netflix.
