This had the feel of the TV show "The Following" from a few years back. You thought you knew who might be a wolf but then someone would surprise you and either be one or not.

The premise is interesting and I do wish that she would have given a little more time into the background of how this all got started. There was some detail but I think it could have helped make it a stronger case for why people got sucked up in this. It seems a little far-fetched that so many people would be caught up in this conspiracy but then again we've seen it in real life too I guess so maybe not and it's just too out there for me to believe.

Regardless the book kept a good pace and kept interest until the end. Would have loved confirmation of the very last details from Lily in the last page but alas we always have to have a little mystery left.

Slow story development. Could have been told in ~100 pages. Would not recommend.

It took too long to get very interesting and the action all happened very quickly. But the paranoia and storyline was cool.

The concept of this is what intrigued me, and while it did keep me flipping pages I found the execution and the characters SO frustrating throughout.
