3.5

it's definitely not a bad book I enjoyed it most of the time but I wasn't really hooked. there's no emotional connection to any of the characters and some plot lines seemed a bit cliché in my opinion. i loved the burning girls by the same author but this one just didn't quite fit my taste, especially because it wasn't really creepy or exciting. i gave it 3.75 but i'm correcting it to 3.5 now.
