This was a fast-paced young-adult mystery/thriller.  Seeing how they changed it from a book set in England to one here in the states was amusing.

5.0

I loved this book, I read most of it in one sitting and I was sad when I got to the end. I thought that the premise of the book was super unique and interesting. The way the chapters were laid out with the 'production logs' was really fun and I liked that they weren't just for show and you actually learnt stuff that was relevant to the plot through them. I spent the entire book trying to figure out who the murderer was and I want to reread the book and see how many bits of foreshadowing I can spot now I know the ending. I will say though that

I'm not sure I can forgive the author for killing the dog

.

I'm really glad that the writer has more books in this series and I can't wait to get my hands on them!

This book is amazing the plot just never sits still and the characters are so believable and unique and I just loved it , however for some people this may be very triggering but if you do decide to read it I’m sure you’ll enjoy the story xx
