I really loved this concept unfortunately the execution just didn't meet my expectations. I didn't find the characters relatable at all and didn't care to get to know more of their past/ what drives them. Maybe because I listened to the audiobook, I understand why the narration is a bit flat and robotic but to me it made the story even less interesting.
At some points the story felt very slow and it was a chore for me to continue on. 
This book feels like one episode of CSI or something like that. Unique for sure but not over the top fantastic, I'll probably forget this book by tomorrow.
