I had fun with this one. It definitely kept me guessing up until the very end. The plot was very well thought out and I think the characters were great. I do wish that one character in particular was featured more in the later parts of the book given her actions in the beginning, but that’s mostly personal preference. 

I will say this one read like YA fiction, and there’s nothing wrong with that per se, but just keep that in mind as you read. Overall though, I really enjoyed this one and definitely recommend it.

This isn’t normally the type of book I’d read, but my younger sister gifted it to me for Christmas. There way too many excuses for characters being “off” given, and our main character just seems to brush off all the weird things that happen to him. It’s not particularly compelling. But I guess I had a bit of enjoyment reading it? I wanted to find out who the killer was and how it wrapped up, at least. Not sure if that’s enjoyment or just curiosity.

I liked it! Luke is kinda like a boy version of Stevie Bell which I think is kinda neat. The ending was good! The beginning was a bit slow I think just cause the main characters are guys so I don’t feel as connected to them as I did the girl characters.

eh, it started out great. I was able to predict the ending pretty much in the beginning. And it started to drag def could’ve been shorter. 

after pondering I’ve had to drop the rating. this has to be one of my least fav books.
