Oh I hate you, Holly Jackson.

Another emotional fucking rollercoaster. I knew it was coming, but goddamn did it hurt. I haven’t sobbed like that over a book in a looong time. 

Holly is an absolute mastermind. I thought I knew the answer at least ten different times and I still ended up being wrong. Everything came together so perfectly, still managing to shock me even as everything clicked in my mind. 

My poor, sweet Billyđź’”

A clever, fast-paced thriller with a killer premise that hooks you from page one. Twists, sharp one-liners, and layers of secrets keep you racing through the investigation with Jet and Billy.  The  Halloween setting added the perfect atmosphere to this book. 

Jet & Billy’s dynamic felt a bit young for their ages, and some side characters could’ve used more depth. I guessed the ending about three fourths in, but it didn't take away from the suspense. 
The final reveal was satisfying and everything wrapped up in a way that made sense.
