I really enjoyed reading this book! I often find that mystery books are predictable, but there was a lot of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. The author kept me on my toes the whole time I was reading and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. 

I found that the writing was a bit silly at some parts but the plot itself made up for it.
