Fast paced but was sometimes unclear at the start which character had been murdered.
I didn’t find the reveal of the murder too shocking either.
I will give it props because I did finish it within 24 hours.

It was a good book, but the ending , if u could only forget the last 10 pages.
Now to the actual review:
I must say, in the beginning I didn’t think I’d like this book and that it would be a disappointment but it’s actually interesting and I wanted keep on reading. I guess I just wanted to find out who the killer is.
This book reminded me of the naturals, I know a lot of people say it’s like the secret history but YA, but I haven’t read that yet so I can’t compare them. But the gifted kids that go to a special school and are in an exclusive program part reminded me of the naturals.
I loved that it was fast paced and that it was such an easy read I just would have liked for it to be longer.
But I loved the serial killer vibes, and the billy loomis reference from ghostface. And the killer reveal was definitely unexpected.

I actually did not expect the plot twist in the book that much, it occurred to me that maybe I was on the right track but it did have some good twists that threw me off

There were twists and the why of the murders (which to me was stupid, but the mental health part of it was interesting), but it would have been better without the part mentioned in the spoiler. So if you want to read this I recommend a physical or e-copy of the book.
Narrator Rating: 4 stars
The actual narrator was good. Just that choice by the publisher was the issue.
