This book was really predictable & confusing. There were so many “attempted” plot twists that just kind of fell short & when the true antagonist was revealed, it was a little underwhelming. I think the plot is really good in theory but wasn’t a fan of how everything was executed.

I liked this opener to the series.  The characters felt real and there were many tense moments.  Would have liked more of an explanation into why the culprit did what they did but I guess that will come from reading more of the series.  I will definitely continue :)
