TBH, I'm disappointed. I really love Promise Season, and that's where my expectation lies. I know this is a mystery/crime novel; still, I can't help but expect more romance scenes from this book (it's okay; actually, this is all on me). I know that some people would love this book, with a bare minimum of love-line.
Lee Evie could make me immersed in the book (not surprised anymore). I love the way she describes the setting, with the chilly atmosphere hanging on every chapter. I can feel the coldness of the valley, despite the fact that it's still dry season in my country.
This is definitely page-turning, but too bad, the resolution is all over the place. The plot twist (is it even called a twist?) came out of nowhere. No hint that was indicating who betrayed who and what has possibly happened.
Pick this book if you want to experience the chilling atmosphere, but don't expect too much from the plot.
