Definitely was not expecting the ending on this one! I thought I had everything figured out and by the time the big twist was revealed, I was in shock! It just kept getting better!

3.5

I loved the plot and character development in this book; there was equal development between the two.  I liked the twisty-turny angle that the author took amongst the mystery; it was like whiplash - in a good way.  As much as I loved the book (I was certain I’d rate it at least 4 stars), I was disappointed with the cliffhanger ending! That bumped it to a 3.5 for me.
