 I enjoyed it. The tension and suspense was drawn out pretty perfectly and I wanted to find out who committed the Hope family murders. But the ending and the numerous reveals and plot twists one after the other felt too cheesy and convenient to me. Towards the end of the book, I had gone from "oh snap that's a twist" to "...I dunno I guess that kinda makes sense and isn't too far-fetched..."

But thank you to goodreads for giving me this free book. I had a good time with it.
