I love the story line and the plot twists. I wanted to read more and more so that I could find out what happened which resulting made me finish the whole book in 2 days. Whilst reading the first parts of the book, I thought, "this would make a good movie, I'd watch that movie" and then I changed my mind when I read further on because I realised that

John was killed and in a very gruesome way too. If I saw that in theaters I think I would feel pretty disturbed and sad about the loss

. The characters are so young. The kind of things that they are doing at that age seems unrealistic.

Super fast-paced and thrilling, with some fantastic worldbuilding. I always eat up plots where the MC is forced to question their entire life because they thought they were one of the good guys but they’ve been working for the villains all along. The plot has lots of twists, which were a little predictable but in a satisfying way where it feels good to put all the puzzle pieces together. I did feel like the romance was a little insta-lovey especially at first but I did enjoy the dynamic between Day and June by the end. I’m super excited to see what happens next in the trilogy.

I found the story hard to get into until Day gets arrested. I liked it once it picked up, but not enough to continue the series.
