This sucked me in pretty quickly. Really liked how the time skips were done and the way they gave me small bits of info throughout. 
Especially loved Iris she’s the petticoat badass we need! 
Didn’t know there was a second one but was very happy to get an ad for it immediately after finishing. 
Sidenote this has a plethora of potential triggers so proceed with caution ⚠️

I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

Such a good read! I was skeptical about if it'd lose my interest being that it's all set in 1 day. But it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, I finished it in 3 days.
