This wasn’t one of the books I’d usually pick up but I had a fun time reading it. It had a bit of a creepy edge getting to hear from the killer and also when they’d try to be in the mindset of the killer trying to figure out why they did what they did. It was really quick and engaging though.

I did sus out the killer though which, as always, shocks me. Guess I need to believe in my creeper instincts more. I didn’t know the motive though but once that was revealed it made a lot of sense.

This got me out of my reading slump! So thrilling, it kept me hooked at all times! The ending was so unexpected! I really liked the characters. The only thing that annoyed me a little, was that the characters and the story are kind of similar to the inheritance games. Especially the love triangle is basically the same, and I'm not a big fan of that. But the plot made up for it. Definetly starting the second book now.

adventurous dark tense

This was so fun!! I loved Cassie, the slightly creepy storyline, and all the side characters. I didn’t even mind the love triangle, which is saying a lot.

The characterization was very strong, and this author knows how to write a story that draws the reader in. I don’t know that I loved the pacing, but overall it was a good read and I will probably read the rest of the series!
