Solid till the end. I wasn't a fan of the way any of the plot was wrapped up.

This is the second book by this author that i’ve read and i throughly enjoyed every minute of reading it. The plot twists, the characters, everything about it was interesting and fun. Having the book set during fall in New England was also a plus for me. YA thrillers are fun, fast paced, and not gory which is why i enjoy them so much. I highly recommend taking the time to read some of this authors work.

3 hours 12 minutes - I was enjoying this book immensely up until the ending was revealed, and don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but I was slightly disappointed, mainly because I didn't like how a lot of the information was relayed to Ellery via Ryan, almost an infodump of facts that the author couldn't figure out how to relay in a more natural way. However, I do think the reveal was good for the most part, unexpected but not unrealistic/far-fetched. I thought the character's were fairly interesting: Ellery maybe fell a little flat as a character but for the most part she was mostly fleshed out.
