A very trippy book. It’s almost a story within a story.

The actual mystery about the women in the library doesn’t feel like a mystery. It’s more a mystery about Cain than anything else. And I just wasn’t a big fan of that story. In a way, the letters distracted from the Cain story. There wasn’t a good balance between the letters and the library mystery.

I finished feeling a bit dissatisfied with the mystery and plot elements. I wanted more from the letters. There were tantalizing details about the Leo from the letters. Who is this person? How did they get Hannah’s information? All very curious.

The ending had me questioning what I just read. Overall, the plot kinda of dragged once I reached the halfway point. There were so many plot twists happening that it was hard to keep up. I loved the duel story element. The emails were a nice touch.

This book drew me in just by the first sentence of the summary. It felt fast paced at the beginning, somewhat slower in the middle, and it picked up again near the end. I LOVED the creative point of views that the author used! Wonderful book!
