Why was this book so freaking long? 

And like, how many changes of clothes did this girl bring to a weekend party?!
dark mysterious medium-paced

Found on Instagram through the author’s page

A solid locked room murder mystery filled with plenty of twists and turns, and a good selection of characters - I actually found myself caring about whether all of them lived or died. Despite a relatively slow start, things picked up quickly and the last half of it I read in one sitting, unable to put it down.

There were some plot holes and a few things that didn't quite make sense, but overall it was a fun read that kept my attention to the last page.

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

DNF @ 23%

This one I think is partly my fault. I did not realize it was YA going in, and I tend to struggle with YA thrillers (they’re not very “thrilling” to me). 

However, I also just did not GAF about this plot or these characters. It was very slow moving and boring, and I saw someone say you just have to get through the first half and it gets interesting…I’m sorry but no thanks.
