mysterious medium-paced

I loved the book. The plot was super interesting and felt fresh, something I haven’t come across before. The characters were great and well developed. I absolutely loved Jet as the main character. She was witty, kind of rude in the best way, and just a strong female lead.

Billy was sweet and funny, and a good balance to Jet. The rest of the characters were well written too. I liked them as characters, not necessarily as people (if that makes sense) but they added a lot to the story.

The concept really hooked me. A dead girl solving her own murder is such a cool idea and I was all in.
I didn’t see the twist coming, but I definitely didn’t expect Jet to ACTUALLY die?! I really thought she’d pull through in the end. What made it harder was that she didn’t even get to fulfill her final wish... Still, I’m glad she found some meaning before the end.

I ended up taking off one star, partly because Jet actually dies (and I like happy endings, sue me), which hit me in a bad way, and partly because of Luke’s redemption arc. He abused his employees and killed his own sister. To me there is just no coming back from that, no matter how the story tries to spin it.
That said, Holly’s writing is as great as ever. I’ve loved every book she’s written and this one was no exception. The pacing was strong, though a little rushed at the end, and the writing was easy to follow and matched the story perfectly.
