Doing a re-read for this series and noticed I’ve never done a review.  This is my favorite book out of the series.  It has plot twists, drama (obviously, this series thrives off of it), low key problematic characters, and the set up for the much bigger plot.  This book was how everything started.  How things changed so quickly and then changed again just as quickly in the end.  Reading in Ali’s POV was also my favorite.  Her character is complex and being able to see her actions and then her thought process makes things much more interesting.
