The plot twist at the end was something I was not expecting. This book was a bit challenging and throughout the entire book, I was trying to figure out who the killer was. It was full of many great plot twists.

Overall, not the worst book I’ve ever read but I definitely wouldn’t recommend. It’s told from a first-person POV which I find pretty tough to get used to, but that’s just my preference. It’s also an incredibly slow build up with most of the action happening in the last 100 pages. The main character is also very hard to relate to and I just overall didn’t connect well with the characters or the book itself.
