I read this so quickly lmao. idk but there were too many plotlines being added but not a very good execution/conclusion to all of it. it had potential and I wanted to know more but the way it was executed wasn't very good for me idk. the pacing was so slow too. the stuff that happened to the missing girls and the backstories of the characters were SO repeatedly mentioned imo. like, I do not need a reminder of malcolm being in declan's shadow, ellery's thoughts abt her mother and sarah, and recounts/theories abt what happened to lacey every two sentences. but, I did kinda like the mysteries, I just wish they had been better solved and discussed. the last sentence added a lot of surprise(?) gasps maybe, and thoughts. that was a good and chilling closer for the book.
