I’m not sure what I was expecting going into this book but I really enjoyed it! I haven’t read many mysteries lately because I’ve been let down by the last few I’ve read but this one kept me intrigued the whole time!! I loved both Pip & Ravi a lot and I’m excited to see where the rest of the series leads them! I did get a little confused a couple times, I think it’s mainly because there are a lot of characters so keeping them all separate was difficult at times! And I wish someone would’ve warned me about the dog 😭 besides that, this was really great and I get the hype!

plot twist was so bomb and ts was the first book to make me genuinely cry at the end like omfg

definitrly heavy on the mystery so if youre looking for a romance book then there’s not a lot of it in here, but i still enjoyed it a lot and ate it up in like a day or two

Holy crap. That's the way this book left me feeling after finishing it.

The plot and storyline of this entire book was perfect. The small leads revealed in every chapter had me thinking about scenerios non-stop when I wasn't reading. All of the suspects had so many strings attached and yet the ending of this made so much sense. Not to mention I did not expect it at all.

I think it's safe to say I won't shut up about this book for a long time.

I think all of the characters were amazingly written but Pip and Ravi have a special place in my heart. They were the best duo for this.

Throughout the book, I always felt like I was right there with them; experiencing everything and being scared when something eery came up.

All in all, I would easily recommend this book to anyone and I already have. 

This would definitely be a 6 star book if there was such a rating!
