4.5

It's an incredibly fast paced, edge-of-the-seat thriller. So 5/5 for that. But since it is centered around teens often I felt that cerya aspects felt slightly unrealistic for that age group. But I think that's quite subjective tha every might not resonate with. I enjoyed the book masive despite that. So 4.5/5.

Le daría 5 estrellas de no ser por el final, pues fue predecible. Aunque aún sabiendo quien fue la historia se hace muy entretenida por todos sus personajes.

I’ve never read a book that was so distinctively YA and trope-heavy, but that was still so engaging and such a good story. This absolutely filled the hole in me that loves a little bit of drama and a ton of mystery. The characters had interesting backstories and personalities without being *too* deep, which allowed me to connect just enough to care, and the story itself was twisty without needing a map to follow. Overall I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the second!
