I've been in a reading slump for over 5 months now so this mind boggling and fast paced book helped to get me out of it.

Holy cow! This book was so good! Despite the numerous content warnings I still found this book to be incredible! I absolutely could not put this book down! If I hadn’t fallen asleep this would’ve been a one-sitting read. This story was one of the best mystery novels I have read recently, possibly ever. It was so intense and gripping and I found myself absorbed into this world and these characters. This story kept me engaged from the first page to the very last. And don’t get me started on the twists! There were so many and they were all so incredibly believable but still mind blowing!
