This book started ok, then out of nowhere does a twist that really had no business being there. It's like introducing a new character on the last episode of a show and you find out it was the main character all along. No red herrings, nothing, incongruent story stitching because you don't hear that voice until the epilogue. And the reasons were flimsy at best, you don't find out much about why. The other "secrets" were ridiculous and page fillers. The original rating I had for it was a 3, but that epilogue dropped it to a 2. Really?
