Honestly, I read this book with-in a couple of hours. I didn’t even put it down. I always find concepts like this interesting… knowing when someone or yourself would die. Now, add that on top of a murder mystery filled with trauma and suspense, then all it is missing is a bow.
I personally didn’t know who the killer was until the author was ready for us to know, and I was so shocked. I didn’t even suspect them, which I loved. It was the person least suspected and showed how evil sometimes is really good at hiding. I also loved the fact that the author did a good job tying up all the loose ends. By the end I didn’t really have too many questions or concerns. Thoroughly enjoyed!!
