Vaya pasada de libro. Holly Jackson nunca decepciona con sus thrillers, wow, menuda capacidad de mantenerte siempre en tensión e intrigada, sin esperarte lo que va a pasar. Tenía muchas expectativas en el libro después de leer su trilogía de Asesinato para principiantes y las ha cumplido todas.

La única pega que le pongo es que me he quedado con ganas de saber qué pasaba después con un par de personajes porque el final es bastante abierto, pero igualmente increíble, de verdad.

100% recomendado.

Predictable, but entertaining enough to keep me interested. The dialogue was cheesy and sounded like a bunch of twelve-year-olds, not seventeen to twenty-year-olds. Characters were a bit Dickensian and had a lot of Michaelides type of cheap twists, but I’m not the in the YA demo anymore… 

3.5 stars (rounded up to 4)

This one was difficult for me to rate. I loved a Good Girls Guide to Murder so just assumed I would love this one but it was very up and down. I found the first half slow and slightly boring (which I hate saying) however, the second half saved it. I sped through the final 30% of this book and found it to be exactly what I expected from Holly Jackson - it just took a little while to get there.

We got the twists I was waiting for and even a few tears, Red was a really easy character to feel for and I was definitely rooting for her over pretty much all the other characters.
