I began reading the book extremely intrigued by the different POVs. If you don’t know, every single chapter the POV changes. It’s a very interesting concept. So the book begins with a chapter set in real time where the mystery begins. But then you jump back to POVs from the day before for at least 5-6 chapters before you return to the mystery. Originally, I thought this was going to just be a way to introduce the characters but then I realized the entire book was like that. So throughout the entire story you have no idea who died or who did it… until like the last 25 pages. It was a MASSIVE build up to a really intense but crazy quick ending. Not sure how I felt about that.
BUT! Overall, it did hold my attention and I was able to finish the book while still processing the ending for a while (which is a good feeling). So while I had my issues with it, I know that it’s still a good read and one that many will probably enjoy.

I found the ending came out of nowhere. There was no seed planted for it to be them & literally didn’t make sense til it was explained.. I would’ve liked to have had more of the hosts. Fred was hardly mentioned. Overall, I did enjoy the book, it definitely gripped my attention.
