fast-paced

4.0

I devoured this in one day! Honestly it took me a bit to get into it because the writing style was much more simple than the beautiful writing of the book I read right before this one, but the plot and pacing hooked me and kept me glued to the page. I mean, 450 pages in a day is super rare for me. I love books this fast-paced! I found myself really loving the characters, especially VT. It was a good book to fill the A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder-shaped hole in my heart (not quite as good, of course, but lots of similarities!). My only gripe is THE ENDING. Everything resolved and then suddenly in the last two pages they decided to cliffhanger us which is ONLY OKAY IF THERE’S A SEQUEL. WHICH THERE’S NOT. As far as I can tell, there aren’t even PLANS for a sequel. I screamed when I finished the book and then ran to my sister to rant at her about it. Those last two pages SUCKED 😂

The only way that cliffhanger would be okay is if they had a sequel where it turned out the body they found wasn’t Valentine! You don’t end the book with another murder unless there’s a sequel where you solve it, especially not when it’s the wonderfully written love interest! Good Lord! How did they think that was a good idea to publish like that!
