I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was a little skeptical about it at first because this is one of my first "crime" books. But I was captivated the whole time. I loved the fact that throughout the entire book, I was also trying to solve the puzzles with Dani. I honestly just love Dani so much. I really enjoyed the fact that she wasn't going to let anything really stand in her way. She was such a badass. There weren't any characters that I was supposed to like that I didn't like, if that makes sense.
My only issues with the book were the few times that I felt like there was a repeat information that didn't seem necessary. During those moments, the statements were usually almost identical which was a little agitating. However, it didn't happen often so it wasn't too much of an issue. My other issue was just a me thing. I think im so accustom to romance books that I was expecting a happy ending for Dani and Toro. Unfortunately we didn't get it, but I also understand why. I'm just stuck in the mindset of how (dark) romances would go.
But other than that, the book is amazing and I'll probably be reading it again sometime later this year or the next.
