Holy wild ride. This book took a little while to catch my attention in the beginning, but it did eventually and things got crazy. typically i can see a twist coming or at least consider the idea before it happens, idk if i was just off my game but i did NOT see this one coming. if you like books with one big twist, definitely give this a shot.
