4.0

i was very intrigued, but the book was pretty predictable ngl. still enjoyable though! i liked the characters, and the intertwining storylines, but i think there should've been more to this book for everything to be so carefully intricated, and so that they all had more time to grow.

Read this book in pretty much two sittings, and I absolutely LOVED it ❤️❤️ everything was perfect. I was immediately hooked and never felt like there was a dull moment or lost interest. The ending was everything I needed between

Nate and Bronwyn in the epilogue, Addy and Cooper finding themselves, and the shocking yet not too far fetched truth about Simon’s death

. Overall LOVE LOVE LOVE PLEASE READ 🙏🏻

I don't usually go for mysteries, but this one got me. An original twist on a few cliché plot points/devices. A good puzzle to put together.
